A real staple of the American shopping mall is in terminal decline. Children's Place Inc. is reportedly filing for bankruptcy. That could well lead to the complete closure of its retail operations.
As Bloomberg first reported, the ailing retailer is considering a sale as part of its broader restructuring. The outcome of that sale will determine whether the company survives. It could be a sale that provides the cash needed to keep the business going under a new owner, or it could lead to the company's complete liquidation and closure.
The impending financial restructuring will be very bad news for current investors. According to the Bloomberg report, The Children's Place's current shareholders will be wiped out in the bankruptcy.
The potential collapse is another massive blow to the traditional high street, with parents across the country asking themselves where on earth they'll go to buy clothes now that the future of the much-loved clothing chain is in such a precarious state.
