Pandemic-related signage at the Gordmans store at the Wayne Heights Mall shopping center in Waynesboro, Pennsylvania. This store had been converted to the Gordmans nameplate in February 2020 as part of a companywide rebranding by parent company Stage Stores to reposition the company as an off-price retailer, and consolidate the company's various brands under the Gordmans name. This store had previously operated for many years in a more traditional department store format under the Peebles nameplate.

At the time that this photo was taken, Gordmans was conducting a going-out-of-business sale, following an extended shutdown of all of the company's stores, due to their being considered "non-essential" in the pandemic and therefore ordered to close, ostensibly to combat the spread of COVID-19. During this shutdown, the company ran out of money and declared bankruptcy, which led to the winding-up of the company's operations.
