The company specializing in the retailer and wholesaler selling everything—from storage to organization items—is expected to file for bankruptcy protection within the next few weeks, amid months of heavy losses and continued liquidity problems. Close reports on the situation say that the company further plans to file under Chapter 11, wherein lenders would have control of the business under a reorganization plan.
Retail industry pressures and the road ahead
The Container Store’s troubles exemplify the bigger picture in the retail world, which worsens by the day, especially among companies that heavily rely upon discretionary consumer spending. Thus, with 103 stores in the United States, the operational footprint of the company adds to the complexity of its restructuring efforts.
A Chapter 11 bankruptcy transition would allow this company to reorganize its debts and sustain them; running in this way, however, is a method most employed by struggling retailers to uphold jobs with minimum interruption to customers. However, a successful recovery track would depend much on the efficiency of that reorganization plan and the willingness of lenders to extend the necessary support for stabilizing the business.
The company’s strategic advisors, Houlihan Lokey and FTI Consulting, are expected to play an important role in facilitating negotiations between the retailer and its creditors. Meanwhile, the involvement of Greenhill & Co. and Berkeley Research Group underscores the complexity of the financial restructuring necessary to shed light on The Container Store’s growing obligations.
Until now, the retailer has not commented publicly on its bankruptcy preparation; however, the filing is most anticipated to be groundbreaking in its history. Such occurrences may define the future of not only The Container Store but also its market within the organizational goods arena to most consumers and industry followers.
The Container Store now becomes another store among the increasingly long line of stores reasonably expected to be struggling to find a new footing in consumer trends given the current state of the economy. Yet if they could or would survive bankruptcy and come back to claim their market, it remains to be seen.
