Women’s clothing store Charlotte Russe has become the latest retailer to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

The chain plans to close 94 of its 500 stores while it pursues a sale of the business.

The store at The Empire Mall is not on the list of sites to close.

In a court filing, Charlotte Russe blamed a decrease in sales and in-store traffic combined with the burden of operating a large bricks-and-mortar presence.
