L Brands announced it would close 53 stores earlier this month after disappointing holiday sales. The closures add to 30 shuttered in 2018, both above the company’s average closure rate of 15 per year, according to an L Brands release.
Comparable sales across the company’s brands, which also include Pink, were up 3 percent.
