Factory 2-U

Factory 2-U is a chain of stores operated by National Stores. The brand under National Stores sells off-brand apparel under the Factory 2-U name. Factory 2-U also operates stores under the name Fallas Paredes.[1]

The chain was formerly operated by Factory 2-U Stores, Inc. [2][3] which had its headquarters in San Diego, California, California. The company was known for selling excess apparel and closeout merchandise from brands such as Converse, Gap, Levi's, and Polo Sport.[4]

In 2003 the company Factory 2-U Stores operated locations in Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, and Washington.[2] When Factory 2-U Stores filed for bankruptcy protection in February 2004, it arranged the sale of 172 stores to National Stores. In August 2004, Factory 2-U stores liquidated, receiving $28.5 million from the sale to Factory 2-U Liquidation LLC, a consortium headed by National Stores.[5]
