There might be a saving grace. The suits responsible for managing the beaucoup bucks that are needed to operate the popular chain are seeking additional financing. They have enlisted a team to help advise them on how to “restructure” their debt and to identify possible lenders to support their 2020 and beyond vision.

Forever 21 has more than 800 stores on four different continent: U.S., Europe, Asia and Latin America.
