I guess 427King's Holley Extravaganza sale was too much competition for them?.

Seriously though, a sad day and end of an era...I sure hope few Mom & Pop shops get hurt by this..

Looks like they'll ride again under the new deal?.

Reorg is far different from liquidation, they are two different chapters of the code. They aren't done, just owning up to reality - and forcing creditors to do the same.

What better way to create brisk sales than to put fear into people that the product may no longer be for sale...great marketing!!

Holley should hire US Airways as consultants as they are experts when it comes to bankruptcy.

Wow,They're going to pay their unsecured debts in full. Usually, the vendors are the LAST to get paid. (meaning, they don't get anything)

Isn't this the same thing Kmart did a few years ago ? They just restructured and are still all over the place although most are called "Big Kmart" now.
