The Chronic Consumer

I just got done reading an interesting article about some of the many, many well-known companies that have filed for bankruptcy protection recently. This does not include Bed, Bath & Beyond, Circuit City, or the Sharper Image. These filings are more recent.

Here’s the complete article if you want to read the details, and here’s the list if you just want to peruse it quickly.

• Phoenix Coyotes
• Hartmarx
• Six Flags
• Crabtree & Evelyn
• Filene’s Basement
• Extended Stay America
• Eddie Bauer
• Crunch Gym
• Pilgrim’s Pride
• The Daily Blossom
• Debt Relief USA (rather ironic, isn’t it?)
• Chicago Tribune
• City of Vallejo, CA
• Lear Corp.
