After over 30 years as a specialty retailer of casual apparel and accessories for the teenage and young adult markets, Anchor Blue is closing all of its 117 stores nationwide, including its retail store in the Stoneridge Shopping Center.
Closing sales started on Jan, 7 and will continue until all merchandise is sold.
“As a way of expressing our appreciation for their years of patronage, we encourage all of our loyal customers to take advantage of the tremendous savings across all locations,” said Tom Shaw, Chief Executive Officer at Anchor Blue Retail Group.
The store features a variety of merchandise for teenagers and young adults including tops, jackets and hoodies, shorts, jeans, pants and crops, dresses, accessories, backpacks and bags, Shaw said. Store fixtures such as apparel racks, shelving, lighting, cabinets and more will be sold, too.
Shaw said Anchor Blue stores will honor gift cards until Jan. 21 and that returns on purchases made before Jan, 7 with a receipt and in compliance with Anchor Blue’s return and price adjustment policy will be accepted until Jan. 21. After that date, no returns or exchanges will be accepted on any merchandise. All sales made on or after Jan. 7 are considered final.
Gordon Brothers Group and Hilco Merchant Resources are collectively running the going-out-of-business sales on Anchor Blue’s behalf.
Beginning as Miller’s Outpost in 1972, the company changed its name to Anchor Blue in the late 1990s to reflect the fact it marketed, distributed and sold its own line of jeans and other clothing and accessories in its stores.
Besides Pleasanton, other Bay Area Anchor Blue stores that are closing are in Antioch, Daly City, Hayward, Milpitas (in the Great Mall), Newark, San Jose and Tracy.
