kobayashiGT Internal Moderator September 30, 2019 Share September 30, 2019 Forever 21 weighs bankruptcy filing Source: https://www.straitstimes.com/business/companies-markets/forever-21-weighs-bankruptcy-filing NEW YORK • Forever 21 is preparing for a potential bankruptcy filing as the fashion retailer's cash dwindles and turnaround options fade, according to people with knowledge of the plans. The company has been in talks for additional financing and is working with a team of advisers to help it restructure its debt, but negotiations with possible lenders have so far stalled, the people said. Focus has thus shifted towards securing a potential debtor-in-possession loan to take the company into Chapter 11, they said, even as some window remains to strike a last-minute deal that keeps it out of court. A bankruptcy filing would help the company shed unprofitable stores and recapitalise the business, said the people, who requested anonymity discussing private negotiations. Representatives for Forever 21 did not respond to a request for comment. Co-founder Chang Do-won had been focused on maintaining a controlling stake in the company, which limited its fund-raising options. A faction of Forever 21 officials, without the approval of Mr Chang, had asked its biggest landlords to consider taking a stake in the company amid a disagreement within its leadership, Bloomberg previously reported. Founded in 1984, Forever 21 operates more than 800 stores in the United States, Europe, Asia and Latin America. It was founded by South Korean husband-and-wife team, Mr Do and his wife Jin Sook, after they immigrated to the US. Outside the US, most of stores are franchised or operated in joint ventures with local partners. While there used to be as many as four outlets in Singapore, the brand has closed all but one store, which is at 313@Somerset.

I would have thought that clothing stores would be best suited to fight against online shopping. I've bought a few clothings online and choosing the correct size is always difficult. These days, I rather go physical store to buy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
