It’s all part of the bankruptcy process filed earlier this week, according to a report by Bloomberg.

The retailer currently operates nearly 350 stores and is still looking for a buyer for its remaining stores. According to the report, Forever 21 would be forced to liquidate the remaining stores if a buyer is not found.

Under a partnership agreement made in August 2023, Chinese-founded Shein acquired about one-third interest in Sparc Group, Forever 21′s operator. Sparc also became a minority shareholder in Shein.

At the time, Forever 21 had more than 540 locations worldwide.
