AUBURN Hours after Christopher & Banks announced Thursday that it was closing most, “if not all,” of its locations seeking Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, a company charged with liquidating 400-plus stores listed Auburn, Augusta, Bangor and Kittery among the casualties.
Christopher & Banks has stores in the Auburn Mall, Marketplace at Augusta and Bangor Mall in addition to a CJ Banks in the Bangor Mall and Christopher & Banks Outlet in Kittery.
The retailer opened in the Auburn Mall in 2004. The women’s clothing chain announced it was coming the day after the Gap announced it was leaving.
