Ascena Retail is the company behind retail lines such as Dress Barn, LOFT, Lou & Grey, and Ann Taylor. RetailDive reported that not much even though it found a new person to take over Dress Barn. In an attempt to keep the brand afloat, the company shuttered a quarter of the stores by 2019. According to the same source, Ascena expected sales worth $1.7 billion during the 2017 fiscal year. Sadly, the top-line sales only went down year over year. However, the financial services company Moody’s reported that Ascena “is on a path to developing a strong ‘backbone’ of retail capabilities.”
