(KTLA) -- Yet another major shopping mall retailer has announced it will close many stores as it navigates Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

Claire’s, a fashion and jewelry chain aimed at teen and “tween” girls, is slated to close nearly 300 locations, the company revealed in a court filing on Monday.

The closures include 235 Claire’s locations and 56 Icing stores. Icing targets older teens and young adult women, and has a location in the Acadiana Mall in Lafayette.

A timeline for the closures was not released.

The move follows Claire's bankruptcy filing earlier this month when it signaled it might need to close more than 1,100 stores if a buyer didn’t emerge.
