Christmas Tree Shops Inc. filed for bankruptcy — less than three years after Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. sold the discount retailer — with plans to shutter some underperforming stores.

The company filed a Chapter 11 petition alongside parent company Handil Holdings in Delaware on Friday, court papers show. Handil listed liabilities of as much as $100 million in its bankruptcy petition.
