According to Women’s Wear Daily (see article here: http://womensweardaily.com/issue/article/122315 ) Charming Shoppes will be closing a host of stores, mostly multiple Fashion Bug locations. The company also owns Lane Bryant, Catherine’s Plus Size, and Petite Sophisticate.

Seems like Fashion Bug’s heyday is long past, but it is a budget-friendly store. Are you sorry to see a bunch of them go (which can’t bode well for the rest of the chain)?
