“These additional store closures are a difficult, but necessary step in the continued restructuring of Fred’s,” said Joseph Anto, Fred’s CEO.

Fred’s intends to close the 104 impacted stores announced today by the end of June. The downtown location is expected to close by the end of May.

Liquidation sales are currently underway at both locations, according to the company.

According to property records, the downtown Brookhaven building is owned by Fred’s. The Brookway building is owned by Brookway Village LLC of California.

Fred’s locations in Crystal Springs and Hazlehurst will also close.
