Charming Charlie Closing All Stores as Of August 2019
I know it’s not beauty related but I wanted to share that Charming Charlie is closing all stores as of the end of August as I know many like the store as much as I do. 261 stores in 38 states will shut their doors as of August 31st and it appears even the online website will be done too. Charming Charlie filed for bankruptcy on July 11th and already are putting everyday on sale. Most of the online site is sold out at this point.
They originally filed for bankrupcy back in April 2018 and closed 100 stores but those efforts were not enough to cut debt so, they are not just apparently completely going out of business.
It’s pretty sad as I really like their accessories. Charming Charlie joins over 7,000 other stores that have closed in the past few years as it’s impossible for many brick-and-mortar stores to battle with online retailers.
I think the future pretty much holds absolutely no hope for malls or actual stores as everyone will be shopping online versus driving to the nearest store to pick up what they need. We are already a spoiled generation that gets everything delivered to our door from the common pizza to a full selection of groceries and everything else in between.
If you have gift cards from Charming Charlie I urge you to head to your local store and spend them while you can!
