(CNN) – Claire’s has revealed a list of hundreds of stores it will close as part of its Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings.

In a court filing this week, the jewelry retailer listed more than 290 stores it plans to close, including multiple stores in Wisconsin.

The closed locations include shops in West Towne Mall, East Towne Mall, Outlets at the Dells, Johnson Creek and Janesville.

They include some of its “Icing” brand stores. The stores are expected to close on a rolling basis.

The company announced last week it sold its North American business to a private equity firm for more than $100 million.

The firm said it planned to preserve the chain in a downsized form.

This is Claire’s second bankruptcy in the last seven years.
