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.
Destiny USA’s Growing List of Closures
Destiny USA has been on a rough streak for a while now. The mall has been slowly losing the brands that once drew crowds.

Eddie Bauer’s struggles now add another familiar name to that list.

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.
