WARSAW — The rue21 store in Warsaw is closing.

An employee at the store confirmed the closure on Tuesday, Dec. 5, with liquidation sales already taking place.

Warsaw’s rue21 will be closing on Jan. 27, or when the store sells out.

Within the last year, rue21’s location in Plymouth closed, with liquidation sales for that store beginning in August 2022.

The Warsaw store is located at 2584 Walton Blvd., in the same shopping center as Journey Nutrition and Rent-A-Center.

Rue21 filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in May 2017, and emerged in September 2017 after the company’s reorganization plan was confirmed by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court.

The company specializes in men’s and women’s casual apparel and has locations in Goshen, Elkhart, Fort Wayne, and Mishawaka.
