UNDATED (WKZO AM/FM) — It was just months ago that Payless shoes got fashion influencers to pay hundreds for their inexpensive line of shoes by setting up a fake store and adding an “i” to their name.
It was a pretty clever public relations move, but not enough apparently to save the discount chain from a second bankruptcy and this time it will take the company down.
Dozens of Payless Shoe stores in Michigan are on the list of closures as the company prepares to file bankruptcy for a second time.
That includes three locations in Kalamazoo and one each in Battle Creek, Plainwell and Allegan.
(Hillarylane reports
The discount shoe chain has more than 23-hundred stores nationwide.
((((The company plans to have going-out-of-business sales starting in the next week)))).
