The retail giant operates approximately 1,150 stores nationwide, so this represents a very small fraction of the company’s total portfolio.

"We always take these decisions very seriously," the company’s CEO Tom Kingsbury, said in a press release. "As we continue to build on our long-term growth strategy, it is important that we also take difficult but necessary actions to support the health and future of our business for our customers and our teams."

It's unclear when liquidation sales will start inside the store.
