A bankruptcy court will decide today if it will approve the purchase of the parent company of Younkers by a liquidation company. As of this morning, 7 of 15 Younkers locations in the state are slated to close in early June; Ames and Marshalltown are not on that initial list. However if the chain is liqudated, it would just be a matter of time before those locations close as well.

Swenson says online shopping has impacted all types of retail stores and it has had an impact on Younkers as well. But, he says it’s the type of store that Younkers is that is one of the biggest factors.

Rueters reports this morning that liquidation sales at Bon-Tons 200 locations, including Younkers, will begin in the coming days.
