J.Crew closing 39 stores by the end of January

Retailer J.Crew is closing 39 stores by the end of January as sales continue to decline.

The company lost $161 million in the first nine months of this year.

Officials say the closures are part of its transformation to a digital-first business.

We are working to find out if any of the local J. Crew stores will be on the chopping block.
