The Wall Street Journal reported today that Linens 'n Things may file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection by Tuesday.
Linens 'n Things' sales fell last year as consumers contending with rising unemployment and a slumping housing market reined in spending. The chain's bonds have plummeted on speculation it may file for bankruptcy.
