These Big Stores Are About To Shut Down This Year And Here’s Why

Eddie Bauer

Eddie Bauer is a Bellevue-based outdoor retailer. It was able to emerge from bankruptcy in 2009. However, we have no idea what the company’s future plans are. It was also downgraded by S&P Global in terms of credit rating. There’s a good chance it’ll merge with PacSun, a California-based company.

Mattress Firm

Unfortunately, our favorite mattress retailer filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection recently. Part of it is due to a clerical error. The company announced that 700 of its 3,500 stores would be put up for sale. They plan to restructure the company and end excessive leases in order to turn things around.
