For the constantly-struggling brand American Apparel, the end appears to be nigh. The once-popular Los Angeles company will be shutting down every single one of its 110 United States stores. American Apparel’s Los Angeles headquarters, its La Mirada distribution center and the brand’s two production centers in Garden Grove and South Gate are also set to close down. Currently, the LA-based retailer plans to close down each of its U.S. stores and hometown headquarters by this April.
