Washington Prime, which warned this move was coming in recent regulatory filings, said it&#8217;s using Chapter 11 to &#8220;implement a comprehensive and consensual financial restructuring&#8221; to deleverage its nearly $1 billion in debt.<\/p>\n<ul><\/ul>\n<p>Shifting consumer habits and the pandemic rattled the retail industry over the past year. Two other mall owners, <span>CBL Properties<\/span> <span>(<span>CBLPRD<\/span>)<\/span> and <span>PREIT<\/span> <span>(<span>PEI<\/span>)<\/span>, both filed for bankruptcy last year and cited similar problems. All three mall owners were hurt by some of its major tenants also filing for bankruptcy. <\/p>\n<p>The pandemic sped up the shift to online shopping, and the continued growth of e-commerce sales will lead to more stores shutting down after the pandemic ends, UBS retail analysts predicted in a recent report. The report estimates that around 80,000 stores will close over the next five years. They also believe the number of US malls will also decline over the next five years.<br \/>\nSource: <a href=\"https:\/\/edition.cnn.com\/2021\/06\/14\/business\/washington-prime-group-mall-bankruptcy\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New York (CNN Business)Washington Prime Group, a<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":128741,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23051],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>All retail bankruptcies are not the same.
