Clothing retailer Rue21 is closing several of its "unprofitable" stores across the country, including more than 10 in Arizona.

On Saturday, the company posted the news on its Facebook page: "It's true - we are closing some stores. It was a difficult but necessary decision. We still have hundreds of locations across the country, and our website rue21.com, open for business."

Through its PR firm, the company said, "As part of our ongoing business transformation into a more cost efficient operator, we are closing unprofitable stores across our fleet in order to focus on our many hundreds of profitable locations. The exact number and timing of these closings will be determined in the coming weeks."
