Rue21, a teen clothing retailer, is closing shop in central Nebraska.

Locations in Kearney and Grand Island will be closing.

The Kearney store at the Hilltop Mall opened in 2014.

A year later, Grand Island's Conestoga Mall welcomed the outlet.

Employees were recently informed of the corporate decision as the store continues to see changes.

Rue21 had previously filed for bankruptcy and closed hundreds of stores in 2017.
