Eddie Bauer LLC filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on Feb. 9, 2026, and after failing to attract a qualified bidder by the March 3 deadline, canceled its March 6 auction and signaled that all U.S. and Canadian stores could close as leases are marketed; closing sales will continue and gift cards or refunds will not be accepted after March 12.
