Shoppers are likely to lose another option for clothes in Medicine Hat.

Le Chateau announced today it is seeking to shut down all 123 locations across Canada and liquidate its assets.

Medicine Hat Mall has a Le Chateau store.

The application under the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act for protection from creditors will be heard today by a Quebec court.

In a statement, the clothing retailer says it can no longer continue its operations as a going concern.

The company also plans to shut down its online store.

There are 900 retail store employees and 500 in the head office.
