Iconic Retailer Closing 180 Stores, 11 in New York

Another Big Retail Blow Hits Destiny USA

If you’ve been to Destiny USA lately, you might have noticed something: fewer stores, more empty spaces, and a vibe that just isn’t what it used to be. And it's about to lose another one.

The iconic brand Eddie Bauer has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, which means all of its 180 stores across the country will close. That includes 11 in New York, and yes, Destiny USA. Suddenly, your go-to spot for jackets, flannels, and hiking gear won't be around much longer.

What This Means for Shoppers

These closures are a reminder that retail is changing fast.

But the good news is, if you’ve got your eye on a new winter jacket or some Eddie Bauer gear, you'll be able to pick it up at a discount. But you'd better make it fast. Once the inventory is gone, the store will be too.
