The Destination Maternity store in River Park is closing.

The store selling maternity clothing – including popular brands A Pea in the Pod and Motherhood Maternity – filed for bankruptcy in October.

The Fresno location appears to be one of 183 stores the company is closing in the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico as part of the bankruptcy. It follows an earlier round of closures that the Fresno store survived.

The going-out-of-business sale has started and most pregnancy-related items are between 30% and 50% off. The fixtures (shelves, counters, etc.) are for sale, too.

Employees are telling customers that the store will remain open through March, though an exact closing date has not been set.

It’s the only Destination Maternity store in the central San Joaquin Valley.

A new owner, Marquee Brands (which also owns BCBGMAXAZRIA and the Martha Stewart brand) is in the process of buying what remains of Destination Maternity.
