New Jersey-based discount womens wear store Mandee is closing its Howell location at the Aldrich Plaza, according to a local Facebook page, and offering a big clearance sale on its way out.

An official closing date hasnt been announced, but a photo posted on the Howell Happenings NJ Facebook page shows a sign in the storefront window announcing sales of up to 80% off.

Totowa-based Big M Inc. previously operated the Mandee brand and filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 2013 before selling the brand to YM Inc. The company also owned the now out-of-business retailer Annie Sez, but still operates the brand Afaze. A new Old Navy store is replacing a vacant Annie Sez in Clifton.

There are currently 18 Mandee locations in New Jersey.
