The Limited, a women’s apparel store, will close its location in the Wiregrass Commons Mall. The Dothan shutdown could be part of a larger wave of closings for the 240-store chain.

Laurie Wilcoxon, Wiregrass Commons Mall manager, said Wednesday that the store was liquidating its stock. Wilcoxon said that the store would likely close its doors for good in January.

“They can’t afford to be open,” she said. “They’re closing a majority of their stores.”

According to Bloomberg News, The Limited will likely soon file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Bloomberg News reported that The Limited would try to continue operations after bankruptcy.

Attempts to talk to management at the Dothan store and to contact The Limited’s owner, Sun Capital Partners, have been unsuccessful.

Wilcoxon said that Wiregrass Commons Mall has new stores lined up to open in the early part of 2017 and announcements are forthcoming.
