Payless ShoeSource closing all stores; chain has locations in Burbank, near Glendale

Payless ShoeSource, which has a store in the Burbank Town Center and another location in Eagle Rock Plaza near Glendale, is shuttering all of its 2,100 remaining stores in the United States and Puerto Rico, according to the Associated Press.

It joins a list of iconic names like Toys R Us and Bon-Ton that have been shuttered in the last year.

The Topeka, Kan.-based chain said Friday it will hold liquidation sales starting Sunday and wind down its e-commerce operations.

All stores will remain open until at least the end of March and the majority will remain open until May.

The debt-burdened chain filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in April 2017, closing hundreds of stores as part of its reorganization.

At the time, it had more than 4,400 stores in more than 30 countries. It remerged from restructuring four months later with about 3,500 stores and eliminated more than $435 million in debt.
