The teen apparel retailer joins a list of household names, such as Sears Holdings and Toys 'R' Us, which have filed for bankruptcy protection since the beginning of 2017. Some retailers have even filed for a second time.

Toys 'R' Us Inc eventually went into liquidation, while others like David's Bridal, Nine West and Mattress Firm Inc reorganized and emerged from bankruptcy.

Below is a list of major retailers that filed for bankruptcy since 2017, from the most recent to the oldest:

2019

FOREVER 21 INC

The fast-fashion retailer filed late on Sunday to restructure its business and requested approval to close up to 178 U.S. stores.

Forever 21 listed both assets and liabilities in the range of $1 billion to $10 billion, according to the court filing.

FRED'S INC

The pharmacy and discount retailer said in September it filed for Chapter 11, months after the company began shuttering hundreds of unprofitable stores in the United States.

BARNEYS NEW YORK INC

The luxury department store chain [DBWLDB.UL] filed for bankruptcy protection in August and put itself up for sale, pushed to the brink by falling revenue and soaring rent at its stores that caused many vendors to effectively stop shipping merchandise to the chain.

DIESEL USA

The denim and accessory brand known for its jeans filed for bankruptcy in March, blaming mounting losses, a sales plunge, expensive leases and cyber fraud.

At the time of court filing, Diesel USA had $50 million to $100 million of assets, and $10 million to $50 million of liabilities.

PAYLESS SHOESOURCE INC

The U.S. discount retailer in February filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection for the second time, along with its North American subsidiaries.

The retailer had said it would close about 2,500 stores in North America and wind down its e-commerce operations.

GYMBOREE GROUP INC

The children's clothing retailer filed for bankruptcy protection in January, the second in almost two years, and said it will close more than 800 Gymboree and Crazy 8 stores.

2018

SEARS HOLDINGS CORP

The iconic U.S. retailer that once dominated the U.S. malls filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in October, following a decade of revenue declines and hundreds of store closures.

Sears had listed $6.9 billion in assets and $11.3 billion in liabilities.

In February 2019, a U.S. court approved a takeover bid from its chairman Edward Lampert's hedge fund, al
lowing Sears to avert liquidation and preserve tens of thousands of jobs. (https://reut.rs/2nUIXF6)

2017

TOYS 'R' US

The toys retailer filed for Chapter 11 in September, hoping to restructure some $5 billion in debt, much of which stemmed from a $6.6 billion leveraged buyout by private equity firms in 2005.

It liquidated in 2018, a blow to hundreds of toy makers that sold products to the chain, including Barbie maker Mattel Inc and rival Hasbro Inc.

AEROSOLES GROUP

The women's shoe chain filed for Chapter 11 in September with a plan to close most of its st
ores and focus on its wholesale, e-commerce and international businesses. (https://reut.rs/2nQVY2A)
