Business Summary
Bradlees, Inc., along with its subsidiaries, operates 105 discount department stores, as of December 2000, in seven states in the Northeast, primarily in the heavily populated corridor running from the Boston to the Philadelphia metropolitan areas. The Company has been active in the discount department store business for over 40 years. The Company is focusing on three core product lines: moderately priced basic and casual apparel, basic and fashion items for the home, and edited assortments of frequently purchased commodity and convenience products. In December 2000, the Company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy after exploring several options to change its financial outlook, including a possible sale of the company. Pending bankruptcy court approval, the Company plans to sell its inventory to a group led by Boston's Gordon Brothers Retail Partners LLC.
