DETROIT (Michigan News Source) – Forever 21 will not live up to its name.

The clothing retailer filed for bankruptcy protection for a second time and plans to close down its U.S. business. Those closures include its nine remaining stores in Michigan. The company said the closures stem from falling traffic in shopping malls and competition from online retailers like Amazon, Temu and Shein.
