  Ascena Retail Group was a specialty apparel retailer that operated multiple
  women's and tween-girl clothing brands through retail stores, outlets, and
  e-commerce. The company operated brands including Ann Taylor, LOFT, Lane Bryant,
  Catherines, Cacique, and others. Ascena filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in July
  2020 and sold off its brands. Ann Taylor and LOFT were acquired by Sycamore
  Partners in 2020 and continue to operate. Lane Bryant and Catherines were also
  sold to new owners. The company did not expose a public developer API during
  its operation. Current API resources, if any, exist under the successor brand
  owners.
