Chico’s FAS Canada, Co. ("Chico's Canada"), which operates stores in Southern Ontario under the Chico’s and White House Black Market names, filed for bankruptcy on July 31. The bankruptcy process will result in the closure of four Chico’s and six White House Black Market boutiques in Ontario, which have remained closed since March 17 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The closure of the Canadian boutiques is part of the company’s ongoing cost-savings measures taken to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and address the operational and financial challenges associated with operating in Canada. Chico’s Canada will transition to a digital-only business in Canada. KSV is the bankruptcy trustee.
