Bankrupt retailer Forever 21 Inc. asked a bankruptcy court to approve plans to sell “substantially all” of its assets to a buyer who might keep the chain in business.
Forever 21 is in “substantial, round-the-clock negotiations” with a potential stalking-horse bidder, which would set a minimum price for the fashion chain while it continues to seek bids for alternative transactions, according to a Thursday court filing.
