Update 8/18/20: Stage Stores has received court approval to proceed with liquidating the company.
This is fairly old news as it was announced a couple of weeks ago, but I just realized I never covered it. Stage Stores – which owns brands like Gordmans, Bealls, Goody’s and more – announced back on May 10, 2020 that it’d be filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
As part of that process, they announced that they’d be liquidating their stores once they were able to reopen. Some stores are now open, so if you have any Stage Stores gift cards, it’d be worth trying to resell them (if that’s even possible) or redeeming them ASAP.
