Gottschalks
Gottschalks (former
NYSE ticker symbol
GOT) was a middle-tier
American department store that operated 58 department stores and three specialty apparel stores in six western states (
California,
Washington,
Alaska,
Idaho,
Oregon, and
Nevada); some locations ran as Harris-Gottschalks stores. Prior to liquidation, it was the largest independently owned,
publicly traded department store chain in the
United States. On January 14, 2009, Gottschalks filed for
Chapter 11 bankruptcy. This bankruptcy became a liquidation on March 31, 2009. At least five prime locations became
Macy's stores, while several more became
Forever 21 stores.
