On Thursday, Christopher & Banks announced that it has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy due to financial distress caused by the pandemic and its prevailing impact.
Hilco Merchant Resources will be conducting the company’s authorized store shutting sales. Christopher & Banks’ store closing procedure has started at its stores nationally.
According to the company, it has launched the store closure and liquidation procedure and is holding active discussions with the potential buyers for selling its digital business and associated assets.
