Friedman's Jewelers Files Chap 11.
Rapaport Trade Wire reports today that Savannah-based fine jewelry retailer, Friedman's, Inc. has filed for bankruptcy under Chapter 11 for itself and nine of its subsidiaries.
Lenders reduced their cash flow to the struggling
company, after delayed inventory shipments caused the company to fail
to meet its minimum sales goals. Friedman's was left with no option
but to file for bankruptcy.
The company said the filing should provide it breathing room necessary
to complete financial restructuring initiatives it embarked upon more
than five months ago.
Friedman's began as a small, family owned retailer called Friedman's
Jewelers in 1920 which went on to become a publicly traded company
with 653 stores across the Southeast, Mid-Atlantic and Midwest with
roughly 4,000 employees.
