Lord & Taylor opened its doors in Manhattan in 1824. It was a dry goods store and the first of its kind. Making history as the first department store in the United States, Lord & Taylor continued to innovate for years until it was sold to the French clothing company, Le Tote Inc. last year.
Both Lord & Taylor and Le Tote Inc. filed for bankruptcy in the Eastern Court of Virginia in August 2020.
“While we are still entertaining various opportunities, we believe it is prudent to simultaneously put the remainder of the stores into liquidation to maximize the value of inventory for the estate while pursuing options for the Company’s brands,” Ed Kremer, Le Tote’s chief restructuring officer said in a statement.
Last year before the coronavirus pandemic struck the world, Lord & Taylor was looking to change things up.
They sold their Fifth Avenue store to the French after owning it for more than a century. The struggling coworking company, WeWork, purchased the building. However, it has since been purchased by Amazon for a new Manhattan office space.
Lord & Taylor is currently holding their going-out-of-business sales right now. Everything will be sold, including the fixtures, equipment, and furniture.
