Victoria's Secret Closing An Additional 30 to 50 More Stores

According to CNN, the retailer is planning to close 30 to 50 more stores this year. The closures come following the reduction in 2020, in which 241 locations were closed in the U.S. and Canada.

Over the next six months, we will continue to work toward the separation of the two businesses, proceeding down a dual track to prepare for either a spin-off or a sale," the company said in a statement.
