Most US Eddie Bauer Stores Likely to Close as Operator Preps Bankruptcy

Eddie Bauer's U.S. operating company, run by Catalyst Brands, is preparing to file for bankruptcy. The filing threatens the closure of most of the brand’s more than 250 North American retail locations. Authentic Brands Group, which owns the Eddie Bauer IP, has already moved e‑commerce and wholesale licenses to Outdoor 5 and is exploring buyers for a few remaining stores. The situation mirrors Authentic’s recent bankruptcy filing for Forever 21’s U.S. operator.
