Trumbull Mall Denali Closes

TRUMBULL, CT — The Denali stores at the Trumbull mall and in Branford have closed. Rumors of the stores closures began earlier this year.

The closures happened amid corporate restructuring at the outdoor gear store. A Rhode Island location also closed recently.

Trumbull's location opened in 2015 near the Cheesecake Factory, according to the Connecticut Post.

A truck pulled up to the Branford location and hauled away the store's contents earlier in the week, according to Branford Seven. The Denali website shows that the Old Saybrook location is still open.

The Denali store closures are the latest in bad retail news for Connecticut. Dressbarn announced it was closing all 650 of its stores, including 19 Connecticut locations. Southbury and Mansfield locations were pegged for closure by the end of July. Charlotte Russe is also closing all its locations including five in Connecticut.

Last year brought many high-profile closures across the country including Toys R Us and several Sears locations.
