According to the Dallas Business Journal, the company laid out plans to close stores in low-traffic regions across the U.S. in an effort to “optimize its footprints and focus on core and heritage markets.”

Their storefront in Wichita Falls, located at 4319 Kemp Boulevard between Petco and Specs, is one store listed among 24 storefronts in Texas that will be closings its doors.

It is unclear at this time when the Wichita Falls location will officially close for good, but according to the filing, the process of closing more than half of the Tuesday Morning stores in the U.S. is expected to take approximately eight weeks.

This marks the second national discount retailer to announce plans to close their doors in Wichita Falls for good in less than one week’s time.
