Poor Forever 21.

It seemed like that brand used to be on top of the world, and now it’s out of business…and the TikTokker you’re about to hear from thinks she knows why.

Her name is Abby and she wrote in the video’s text overlay, “I wonder why Forever 21 is going out of business.”

The TikTokker showed viewers different items for sale in the store, and let’s just say that they weren’t too appealing…

In fact, the product Abby showed viewers were pretty cringeworthy.

Yikes!

Maybe Abby’s right and this is why the company went out of business…

Another TikTokker obviously felt the same way and they posted a video with the text overlay, “Why Forever 21 is closing.”
