The Forever 21 store at the Mall of America is included among nearly 180 locations that could close as the retailer looks at its options after filing for bankruptcy.
Court documents in the Chapter 11 case said the Los Angeles-based retailer may not close all locations listed, but that it is working with landlords to renegotiate lease terms. The stores are considered among the least-profitable locations.
Officials at the Mall of America didn't answer an e-mail seeking comment on the future of that store.
Forever 21, which launched in 1984, led a wave of "fast-fashion" shopping, characterized by frequent turnover of new styles along with a low price tag. It filed for bankruptcy on Sunday.
The list of store closures, first reported by CNBC, represents about a third of the retailer's 549 U.S. stores.
The store at the Mall of America in Bloomington is the only Minnesota location listed.
This spring the mall lost two other major tenants, Sears and American Girl.
