Women’s clothing store LOFT (423 King Street) has permanently closed.

The store had mostly positive reviews and was often busy, but was victim to Ascena Retail Group’s wider bankruptcy filings. The store had survived earlier rounds of closings this summer, which had claimed the stores in the Tysons Corner Center and Potomac Mills Mall but was closed as of early December.

Anne Taylor Loft on King St. is closed. This store has been there for as long as I can remember – 20+ years. I think this building recently changed ownership, so perhaps that had something to do with it. #alexandriava #oldtownalexandria pic.twitter.com/YSVOmxc6Q9
