DALLAS, TX - Off-price retailer Tuesday Morning filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection Wednesday with plans to close more than a third of its stores.

In each case, the companies were already in rough shape before the pandemic began due to excessive debt and declining foot traffic. Tuesday Morning, which sells a wide variety of merchandise including home decor, bath and body goods, crafts, food, and toys, hopes to stay in business while using the bankruptcy process to restructure its operations.
