Eddie Bauer retail operator files for bankruptcy, begins liquidation sales

Eddie Bauer LLC, the retail operator of the brand's stores in the U.S. and Canada, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in New Jersey on Monday.

The operator cited declining sales and supply chain challenges, and more recently, ongoing inflation, tariff uncertainty and other headwinds as reasons for the filing.

It will begin liquidation sales at its 180 Eddie Bauer stores in the U.S. and Canada, and will look for a buyer for its brick-and-mortar store operation.
