Bench clothing is closing all Canadian stores

The clothing store, Bench, is closing all retail stores in Canada.

BNN Bloomberg is reporting that Bench’s Canadian partner is planning to close all of the clothing brand’s stores in this country.

That includes 24 stores, including one at the Niagara-on-the-Lake outlet.

It's not clear how many people it employs, or how workers will be impacted.

Bench joins a growing number of retailers closing some, or all of their Canadian stores, including Forever 21, Pier 1 Imports, and Payless Shoes.
