Women’s retailer Dressbarn said yesterday that it plans to commence a wind-down of its retail operations, including the eventual closure of its approximately 650 stores, USA Today reported. Stores remain open along with the Dressbarn website, the company said. Dressbarn is part of New Jersey-based Ascena Retail Group, whose other brands include Ann Taylor, Lane Bryant, Catherines, Cacique and Justice. The company recently sold its Maurices brand. In a separate statement from Ascena, the company said the decision has no impact on the operations of the other brands.
