LONG ISLAND, NY — Several Justice stores will close on Long Island after its parent company filed for bankruptcy Thursday.

Ascena, which also owns Lane Bryant, Ann Taylor, LOFT, Catherine's, Lou & Grey and Cacique, said it will close more than 1,000 of its stores.

According to USA Today, these are the seven Justice stores on Long Island that will close:

• Bay Shore, 2056 Sunrise Highway
• Commack, 140 E. Jericho Turnpike
• Garden City, 630 Old Country Road
• Hicksville, 880 Broadway Mall
• Lake Grove, 226 Smith Haven Mall

After the closings, there will be three Justice stores remaining on Long Island in Deer Park, Valley Stream and Riverhead.

More closings could also be coming. The final number and locations of stores that are closing has not yet been determined, the company stated in the news release.
