A well-known retailer heavily reliant on holiday-season sales filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, according to a new report. The filing adds to a string of retail bankruptcies this year as consumer spending patterns shift and brick-and-mortar chains struggle with costs and competition. Details of the company's restructuring plan and store-closure scope were not immediately specified in the report. The filing comes as retailers brace for a critical holiday shopping season amid mixed signals on consumer spending.
