Ten of the locations being shuttered are in California.

“We always take these decisions very seriously,” Tom Kingsbury, who will step down as CEO on Jan. 15, is quoted as saying by USA Today. “As we continue to build on our long-term growth strategy, it is important that we also take difficult but necessary actions to support the health and future of our business for our customers and our teams.”
