Retailer Pier 1 Imports announced Tuesday it is planning to shut down all its stores for good, three months after it filed for bankruptcy.

The Texas-based firm wants to stop all its retail operations “as soon as reasonably possible” and has asked a bankruptcy court for approval. The temporary store closures in response to the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus was the reason for the decision to shut down, Pier 1 said.
