Women's clothier Christopher & Banks plans to close 30 to 40 stores over the next two years but has seen a rise in e-commerce and expects net sales to increase in 2019, the company said in a quarterly call with analysts. The Plymouth, Minnesota-based company’s net sales for the quarter ended Nov. 3 fell 7.3 percent to $91.3 million, Fashion Network reported, while comparable sales decreased 7.5 percent, for a quarterly net loss of $8.8 million. But online sales posted a revenue increase of 10.7 percent over the same period, and the company said that it expects net sales for fiscal 2019 to increase 2 percent to 3 percent, The retailer also announced Carmen Wamre, a nearly 20-year veteran at Express, would join the company as senior vice president and chief stores officer, per Chain Store Age. The plan to close multiple stores follows an analysis of the company’s real estate portfolio, Christopher & Banks (NYSE:CBK) CFO Richard Bundy said during the call, with closings to begin in late 2019 as leases expire. Keri Jones, president and CEO, said the company is focusing on strengthening their merchandising strategy, developing a “more impactful” marketing approach and enhancing omni-channel capabilities while implementing process improvement initiatives and reducing costs. Jones joined the company as CEO in February 2018 after the retailer went nearly a year under an interim CEO. CEO LuAnn Via was ousted from the retailer in early 2017 after disappointing sales numbers over the 2016 holiday shopping period. Jones previously spent 27 years in global supply operations and merchandise planning operations at Target and also held an executive position at Dick’s Sporting Goods. In a securities filing, the company said Via would receive a severance of more than $1.1 million, equal to a year's salary plus unpaid incentive compensation, the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal reported. Joel Waller served as interim President and CEO until Jones’ appointment. Anne Stych is a freelance writer in Charlotte, North Carolina Page 9
