Children's Place files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in New Jersey

The Children's Place, Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions under Chapter 11 of the US Bankruptcy Code on 8 November 2026, according to the 8-K filed on 9 November 2026. The filing states the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey assumed jurisdiction over substantially all of the debtors' assets and business on that date. The case is captioned In re The Children's Place, Inc., et al., Case No. 26-22682 (SLM), and joint administration of the proceedings has been requested.

The 8-K states that no trustee, receiver, fiscal agent or similar officer has been appointed, and that the debtors remain in possession of their assets and continue to operate under the supervision of the Bankruptcy Court. The company intends to pursue a sale process for substantially all of its assets, including operational assets and intellectual property, under section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code. If approved by the court, the filing says the company is requesting bids by 9 December 2026 and expects to complete the court-supervised sale process by the end of December 2026. The filing states that the company's stores and e-commerce sites remain open and continue to serve customers.

Separately under Item 1.01, the same 8-K discloses that on 3 November 2026 the company entered into a consulting agreement with Tiger Capital Group, LLC, SB360 Capital Partners, LLC and GA Retail Solutions, LLC to manage and dispose of merchandise and furniture, fixtures and equipment at US and Canadian stores, distribution centres and through the company's e-commerce platform. Sales under that agreement run from 6 November 2026 through 28 February 2027, subject to earlier termination or extension. The consultant receives a base fee of 2.5% of gross proceeds on covered merchandise sales and a commission of 15% of gross proceeds on covered FF&E sales, subject to a consultant expense budget of $34,132,000 and a $3,140,000 deposit paid by the company upon execution of the agreement.

The filing does not state the total amount of the company's outstanding liabilities or the identity of its secured lenders whose consent is referenced in connection with withdrawing locations from the consulting agreement.
