I'm fascinated by the bankruptcy and reorganization trend that is whipping through the consumer industry as the economy shifts. The credit crunch is leading to a changed retail landscape.
This blog is designed to follow those trends and keep a running tally of the recessionary impact on stores. It will be neither gleeful nor alarmist; it's my moderately objective look at what's happening, and why.
The first few posts will bring the blog up to date with filings from earlier in 2008, and before long we'll try and track announcements as they happen.
Disclaimer: I work at an interactive agency that includes as clients numerous retail product firms. This blog is not meant to endorse or otherwise monitor any of them or their competitors. It is simply a side project formed out of my own curiosity.
