All physical Catherines stores were closed in 2020 after its parent company, Ascena Retail Group, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The brand was sold to FullBeauty Brands and now operates as an online-only retailer.

Key Details Regarding the Discontinuation:

Store Closures: All 264+ Catherines retail locations were closed, with liquidation sales beginning around July 2020.

New Ownership: FullBeauty Brands purchased Catherines, integrating it into their portfolio of online-only brands.

Availability: The brand continues to sell clothing online at catherines.com.

Customer Experience Changes: Many long-time customers reported reduced quality and changes in style after the brand moved online.

Brand Ownership: Catherines is now part of FullBeauty Brands, which also owns Woman Within, Roaman's, and Avenue.

While the physical stores are gone, the brand's online presence remains, specializing in plus-size clothing (sizes 16-38 and 0X-6X).
