Eddie Bauer at Bismarck’s Kirkwood Mall closes Jan. 28, 2026, amid nationwide store reductions.

The Eddie Bauer store at Bismarck’s Kirkwood Mall is set to close on January 28, 2026, following an anonymous post and confirmed by company management, despite no official notice on the retailer’s social media. The closure, part of a nationwide trend, comes amid ongoing clearance sales and marks the loss of a longtime local retailer, following recent shutdowns like Landers’ Shell. Employees will be impacted, and the community is preparing for the store’s departure.
