NASHUA – The Fashion Bug store in Somerset Plaza on Route 101A is closing as part of a corporate reshuffle, not long after a business sibling, Dressbarn, opened on Daniel Webster Highway.
The Fashion Bug store will close “at the end of December, early January,” said Mindy McComas, assistant store manager at Fashion Bug, which sells casual and business attire for women, plus accessories.
The Fashion Bug chain has been on life support since its parent, Charming Shoppes Inc., was bought this summer by the Ascena Retail Group Inc. for $890 million.
Ascena owns Dressbarn, a store with similar products and customers, and it said after the purchase that the Fashion Bug line was going to be wound down so the company wasn’t competing with itself.
On Oct. 18, a Dressbarn opened in a Market Basket plaza at 261 Daniel Webster Highway in south Nashua.![]()
