– canadianbusiness.com
MONTREAL – Canadian retailer Laura’s Shoppe Inc. has filed for creditor protection as part of an effort to ensure its survival.
The owner of 150 women’s clothing stores, under various Laura banners and Melanie Lyne, says it faced large losses in both 2012 and 2013 as it made changes to its merchandise lines that didn’t resonate with its customers.
“Sales have since rebounded, but additional initiatives need to be put into place to complete the restructuring of the retailer’s operations,” the company said Tuesday in a statement.
“Filing is one of the steps that has been taken to achieve this objective.”
Laura is considering the steps of its restructuring process, which will include closing underperforming stores, it said.
Representatives for the company did not answer requests for comment or additional details.

Federal regulators, under mandate from a 2010 law that reshaped regulation after the financial crisis, will require companies to reveal the extent of their own pay gaps. The Securities and Exchange Commission is scheduled to vote Wednesday to formally adopt the rule, which will compel public companies to disclose the ratio between their chief executives’ annual compensation and median employee pay.
