A’gaci
At the beginning of 2018, womenswear retailer A’gaci filed for Chapter 11. It had been trying to renegotiate leases on 49 stores at the time. During the press release, it explained that two-thirds of the expenses went to leases. In the summer of 2018, they were able to go out of bankruptcy and even got approved for a $12 million loan. Whew!

Toys R Us applied for bankruptcy in 2018 and said it was going to liquidate all stores. That was why it held big sales at the 735 American stores. Of course, it wanted to shut them all done to prevent paying the lease. However, the owners canceled the bankruptcy bid in 2018 so a comeback might be in the works.
