Wet Seal closes 7 Minnesota stores A number of Minnesota shop workers have lost their jobs after a national teen clothing retailer abruptly closed hundreds of stores. The Associated Press reports that Wet Seal is closing 338 stores – about two-thirds of its total locations – with almost 3,700 full and part-time staff laid off. These include metro area stores in Rosedale, Southdale, Maplewood Hall, Burnsville Center, as well as those in the Crossroads Center, St. Cloud, Miller Hill Mall in Duluth and Apache Mall in Rochester, according to the Star Tribune. The newspaper notes that these stores closed down on Tuesday, but that stores in the Mall of America and Shoppes at Arbor Lakes will remain open.
