The retailer, "one of the largest purchasers of home furnishings in the United States," grappled with the "housing slowdown and a decline in consumer discretionary spending" and then went under due to the credit crisis which "prevented possible buyers from getting the credit to fund a purchase." Since filing bankruptcy it has already closed 100 stores, and expects to close the rest by the new year.
