Propietarios de David Jones contemplan cierres masivos de tiendas por presión financiera

Los propietarios de David Jones, Anchorage Capital Partners y Hilco Global, anunciaron que están evaluando una reducción importante de la red de tiendas para preservar la empresa. Informes anteriores indicaron que la tienda había incumplido un convenio de préstamo, lo que llevó a Hilco Global a inyectar capital adicional para reponer inventario de cara a la temporada navideña y generó la amenaza de una posible liquidación. Además, los propietarios han estado negociando con arrendatarios y proveedores, mientras que varias marcas de lujo se han retirado, profundizando la incertidumbre sobre el futuro del minorista.
