Teen fashion retailer rue21 is closing all its stores after filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy for the third time.

The Warrendale, Pennsylvania-based chain filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection Thursday and is shuttering all of its stores nationwide.

According to Reuters, rue21 attempted to sell its business but offers were lower than the company could make by liquidating inventory the company said in court documents.

The fashion retailer operates 543 stores, including 30 locations across Florida, and employs 4,900 people, Reuters reported.

Here’s what we know about rue21 going out of business and its stores in the Sunshine State:
