Children’s clothier Gymboree Corp. is closing 350 stores as it restructures in bankruptcy.

Children’s clothing seller Gymboree Corp. is closing 350 stores, including two Tucson locations, as its works to restructure in bankruptcy.

The San Francisco-based company said Tuesday that it’s mostly closing Gymboree and Crazy 8 stores. It also operates Janie and Jack stores. The company will have more than 900 locations after the stores are shut down.

The Tucson stores on the closure list include Gymboree at the Tucson Mall, 4500 N. Oracle Road, and Crazy 8 at the Tucson Spectrum shopping center, 5121 S. Calle Santa Cruz.

Gymboree filed for bankruptcy protection in June. Traditional retailers have been struggling to deal with strong competition from online companies and slowing mall traffic.

Closing sales are to begin next Tuesday.
