Destination Maternity Is Closing 183 Stores: Is Yours on the List?
Just like toy shopping used to be associated with a trip to Toys R Us, stores like Destination Maternity used to be the go-to spot to scoop up all your prenatal styles. But as online shopping has become the more convenient, preferred option for many parents-to-be, more brick and mortar retail stores are shuttering. That will be the fate of 183 Destination Maternity locations, after the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on Monday.
Several maternity brands, all of which fall under the umbrella of the parent company, will be affected, including Destination Maternity, Motherhood Maternity, and A Pea in the Pod.
According to USA Today, the company had 446 stores in the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico as of Aug. 3. It also operated 491 shops-within-a-shop at various department stores and baby specialty retailers.
The court filing noted that after already closing 27 locations recently, the New Jersey-based company will shutter 183 more. The documents blame the growing digitalization of retail, as well as declining birth rates, high rents, and leadership turnover.
Here's a list of stores that were already closing prior to the bankruptcy announcement:

The closing locations will have liquidation sales that are expected to wrap up before the end of the year. And fans of the brands should still be able to shop online, as the company continues to sell through Motherhood.com, APeaInThePod.com, and DestinationMaternity.com.
Parents.com reached out to Destination Maternity, but the company declined to comment.
