New York CNN —Bob’s Stores, a discount store located in northeast America, is shutting down after seven decades in business. “We regret that our financial position necessitated the liquidation of Bob’s Stores,” Dave Barton, president of Bob’s Stores, said in a press release. All locations are offering steep discounts on everything the company sells, ranging from shoes to clothing. In 2022, Bob’s Stores was sold to GoDigital Media Group. Bob’s joins a growing number of retail bankruptcies in 2024, spurred from a slowdown in consumer spending and rising inflation.

(Photo by Hutton Supancic/Getty Images for SXSW)Vice Media has declared Fortress Investment Group's stalking horse bid of $225 million the winning offer for the company as it emerges from bankruptcy. Vice received multiple bids for the company, but none of them "rose to the level of being deemed a superior bid," according to an internal memo obtained by CNBC. Vice will present the sale to bankruptcy court on Friday and expects the acquisition to close then, the company said in the memo. The sale closes a chapter for the digital media company that was valued at $5.7 billion in 2017. Vice owns a series of assets including Vice News, Vice Studios, Refinery29 and an ad agency called Virtue.

June 22 (Reuters) - A group of buyers including Fortress Investment Group may take over Vice Media after the consortium's $225-million offer for the bankrupt company emerged as the only "qualified" bid on the table, according to a legal filing. Popular with millennial audience through its websites Vice and Motherboard, Vice Media filed for bankruptcy protection last month in a move that capped years of financial difficulties and top-executive departures. GoDigital Media told Reuters in an emailed statement that it made a higher bid for Vice but the offer was turned down by the sellers. "We think Fortress's decision is the wrong choice, and the company, employees, partners and consumers will suffer," GoDigital said. Fortress and Vice did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests for comment on the potential deal, which must be approved by the bankruptcy judge.

CNN —Vice Media, the once-high flying digital media company valued at billions of dollars, is set to be acquired out of bankruptcy by three investment companies, including Fortress Investment Group, for $225 million. Bruce Dixon and Hozefa Lokhandwala, co-chief executives of Vice Media Group, informed staff of the decision in a memo Thursday morning. The acquisition agreement is the latest in a tumultuous period for Vice Media, which was once held up as the future of the business. Vice Media filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in mid-May. A person familiar with the matter told CNN that GoDigital was preparing to submit a bid between $300 million and $350 million.
