J. Crew might be one step closer to an IPO, as Japan’s Fast Retailing Co Ltd has decided not to purchase the retailer following weeks of discussions. As for why the sale didn’t get completed? J.

Fast Retailing is the parent company of brands like Theory, J Brand, and Uniqlo, the latter of which is currently on a quest towards further global expansion. J. Crew currently has 451 stores, most of which are stateside, but they have been slowly expanding internationally with a handful of Canadian locations and three shops in the U.K.
