Forever 21申请破产保护

据知情人士消息，服装零售商Forever 21正准备申请破产保护。

Forever 21因为现金流周转困难等原因，正在与一个顾问团队合作进行债务重组，但与潜在贷款人的谈判停滞不前。目前，焦点已转向确保一项潜在的债务人持有破产资产贷款，以使公司进入破产保护。

其实一切早有预兆，2016起，Forever 21就开始退出一些欧洲国家市场，并关闭了北美的一些门店。

去年，就频频爆出Forever 21中国关店的消息。

今年上半年，Forever 21在关闭中国的官网，以及天猫和京东旗舰店，并确认正式退出中国，同时开始大面积关闭实体店铺.....

紧接着6月，更有消息爆出，Forever 21开始权衡重组方案，希望能带来一丝转机。

2019年有这些商店面临关门

不仅仅是快时尚品牌，美国的一些传统零售业，药妆巨头，都在上演破产以及关店“大潮”。
