Iconic 106-Year-Old Outdoor Retailer to Close All Stores

Eddie Bauer is liquidating all 175 remaining stores after a bankruptcy auction failed to attract qualified bids, while e-commerce and wholesale rights were sold in January.

  • Eddie Bauer LLC is closing its U.S. and Canada stores, with liquidation sales underway at all remaining Eddie Bauer locations after 106 years in business.
  • Eddie Bauer LLC could not find a buyer during bankruptcy proceedings, and an auction scheduled for Friday was canceled after no qualified bids.
  • Authentic Brands Group transferred Eddie Bauer's e-commerce and wholesale licenses to Outdoor 5, according to filings, even as stores liquidate.
  • Store-Closing sales will continue unless a satisfactory bid appears; court documents say gift cards won't be accepted after Thursday and must be used by March 12.
  • Historically, the company has been sold multiple times and previously reorganized under Chapter 11, including a 2009 filing that led to its sale to Golden Gate Capital.
