Five New Jersey locations slated to close.
Women's clothing company The Limited is closing all of its 250 retail stores by Sunday, including its New Jersey locations, reports said.
The apparel chain will continue to operate online, according to the company's website.
The Limited operated brick and mortar stores at locations including the Freehold Raceway Mall, Woodbridge Center in Woodbridge, Bridgewater Commons, Menlo Park Mall and Newport Centre in Jersey City, its website said.
The Ohio-based company filed a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, known as a WARN notice, Nov. 28 indicating that widespread layoffs were planned, according to The Washington Post.
"As you know, the company's Q3 results were very disappointing and we substantially missed our sales budget," a notice to employees said, Cleveland.com reported.

A company spokesman said the store closures would lead to 4,000 job cuts, The Associated Press reported. It was not immediately clear how many New Jersey positions would be eliminated.
Other retailers have also recently announced store closings. Macy's and Kmart have both said they would shut down several New Jersey stores this year as part of a larger downsizing.
