Dozens of Missouri Payless shoe stores are closing after Payless filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in April 2017.
Kansas-based Payless ShoeSource is closing all of its stores in the U.S. and Puerto Rico, including 40 in Missouri. Some locations, which are scattered all over the state, have already closed or will close by the end of this month. Other stores are expected to stay open through the end of May.
