    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 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 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.
