Retail operator of outdoor sportswear pioneer Eddie Bauer files for bankruptcy

Eddie Bauer LLC aims to maximize value through court-supervised liquidation and sale of 180–220 U.S. and Canadian stores amid prolonged unprofitability and retail challenges.

  • Eddie Bauer LLC on Monday filed Chapter 11 in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey after entering a Restructuring Support Agreement with its secured lenders.
  • In recent years, the Retail Company has faced dwindling sales, supply-chain issues and ongoing tariff uncertainty, Marc Rosen, CEO of Catalyst Brands, said.
  • Filing `first-day` motions, the Retail Company seeks to use cash collateral to fund operations while running liquidation sales and pursuing a going-concern sale process.
  • The filing puts roughly 180 stores and nearly 200 at risk while listing more than 100,000 creditors, with $100 million to $500 million in assets and $1 billion to $10 billion in liabilities.
  • RSA is designed to enable a quick Chapter 11 process, and potential buyers of North American store operations could preserve operations, but if no buyer emerges the company will orderly wind down U.S. and Canadian stores.
