California-founded plus-size retailer Torrid, which caters to women in sizes 10 to 30, has been quietly closing stores deemed “structurally unproductive” since last year, according to its year-end data. So far, the chain has closed 151 store locations.
The closures are part of a significant restructuring effort. There are currently 57 stores left in the Golden State. The brand, which originated in the City of Industry and opened its first store at Brea Mall in 2001, entered 2026 with 483 locations across North America.

“[We’re] exceeding the high end of our outlook, while making deliberate strategic decisions required to put this business on a stronger footing. We closed 151 structurally unproductive locations, launched sub-brands that generated approximately $70 million in sales, and fundamentally restructured our product assortment around core franchises and fabrications our customers value,” Harper said. “I am content we are on the right path and encouraged by early signs of progress we are seeing in the business.”
