Lucky’s Market, a Colorado-based grocer that bills itself as offering “organic for the 99%,” filed for bankruptcy after it began closing most of its stores. About 3,000 jobs are at stake.

The company listed assets of as much as $500 million and liabilities of at least that amount in a bankruptcy petition filed Monday in Delaware.
