After being sold in bankruptcy, apparel brand Salt Life will close retail locations and switch to e-commerce. Liquidation sales have begun.

The casual clothing chain will liquidate and shutter its stores and transition to a wholesale and e-commerce business model.

Dozens of Salt Life retail locations are closing across the country after the fashion retail chain was sold at a bankruptcy auction earlier this summer.

With fewer customers heading out to stores to buy products, retailers are getting hit hard, and quite a few have had to declare bankruptcy because of it. Express, Bob's Stores, Rue21, Ted Baker, Soft Surroundings and Outdoor Voices are just some of the many chains that recently went bankrupt,
