The Container Store Group Inc. has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection as it faces mounting losses and a substantial debt load. The Texas-based retailer, known for its organizing solutions, operates 102 stores across 34 states, which are expected to remain open during the bankruptcy process. The decision comes amid declining sales, increased competition, and pressures from a weaker housing market. The company has struggled with cash flow shortages and investor confidence has been shaken, leading to its imminent delisting. Despite these challenges, the CEO has stated that the chain is committed to continuing operations.
