Forever 21 is shutting its fashion retail store March 20 at St. Johns Town Center, laying off 63 employees.
Much merchandise was marked down by at least 30 percent as of Monday.
The company filed a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Notice on Monday with the state, citing the number of layoffs and the date.
Ken Daga, manager for service and training at the store, said the company had operated the 16,000-square-foot store at the Town Center for six or seven years.
He said the chain is not renewing the lease, although he said he could not comment about why.
The store is at 4663 River City Drive. Forever 21 also has a store at The Avenues mall 7 miles south of the Town Center.
The Los Angeles-based company sells women’s, men’s and children’s clothing and accessories and focuses on current trends at value prices. The Town Center store is smaller than most and stocks only women’s goods.
Forever 21 was founded in 1984 and operates more than 730 stores in 48 countries.
Forever 21’s closing comes after the Aerosoles women’s shoe store in the Town Center closed in January at 4712 River City Drive.
