Payless ShoeSource—with two locations in South Austin at 5001 W. Hwy. 290 and 6405 S. I-35—has announced it will close all North American stores this spring.

Payless announced mid-February that it would file for bankruptcy and close all stores in the U.S., Puerto Rico and Canada. Customer gift cards and store credit will be valid until March 11, and liquidation sales are expected to continue until late March through the end of May, according to a statement from the company.

Payless stores in other parts of the world will remain open, according to the statement.
