Quiksilver, Billabong and Volcom Stores Close

AP:

Outdoor apparel seller Liberated Brands, which has operated stores for surfer and skater-inspired labels like Quiksilver, Billabong and Volcom, filed for bankruptcy this week — and plans to shutter its locations across the U.S.

Liberated filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in Delaware court on Sunday. In court documents, the California-based company said it would be winding down and liquidating its North American business after struggling with a series of macroeconomic shocks, supply chain troubles and falling profits due to “fast fashion” rivals.

And a generation of mall cruising pop-punk kids with bleached tips are hit right in the feels.

I've never in my life seen a standalone store for any of these brands, i just know they sell all of them at pacsun/zumiez/tillys

 

Those 3 brands were big staples of my high school fashion

 

I lived in SoCal for over a decade and never saw these stores lol.

Maybe Billabong? but it was mostly Tilly’s, PacSun, Vans etc.

Maui & Sons and Hurley have standalone stores in the outlets.

And I’ll tell you what….Vuori….”designed” where I lived and expensive AF.

 

I can name 5 places in So Cal that have stand alone stores. Wife is bummed. Luckily I am loyal to Hurley!

 

I never knew these brands had standalones

 

I worked at a Quiksilver store like 20 years ago. I still think about that job and a lot of the people I met there. Bums me out about the Chapter 11, but I’m not surprised.
