Lord & Taylor keeps sales out as company closes all stores


Lord & Taylor is holding sales at all locations and their online store as the company joins a list of retailers that have collapsed in the coronavirus pandemic.

The sale, led by the joint venture of Hilco Merchant Resources and Gordon Brothers, will take place in the 194-year-old brick-and-mortar store and online store of the 194-year-old brand. The discounts will apply to all existing inventories, new arrivals from stores and on new categories not previously sold at these stores.
