(NECN) - The Boston Globe is reporting that locally-based clothing retailer Talobts will be closing 75-100 stores. Deputy City Editor Mike Bello says company insiders are predicting slower store sales this quarter.
Analysts say the chain based in Hingham, Massachusetts has had a hard time attracting more younger women to its brand.
Talbots will eventually close 17% of business in the U.S. and Canada by the end of 2013. The company also lowered its 3rd quarter revenue forecast.
