Court Approves Guitar Center’s Exit from Chapter 11 Bankruptcy

by Jeff Shaw December 18, 2020

WESTLAKE VILLAGE, CALIF. — Just over three weeks after filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, Guitar Center appears ready to already emerge from the process. In its original filings, the Westlake Village-based musical instrument and supplies retailer reported its business of instrument purchases, rentals, repairs and music lessons suffered amid the upheaval stemming from government-mandated shutdowns in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. At a virtual hearing Thursday, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Kevin Huennekens, based in Richmond serving the Eastern District of Virginia, approved Guitar Center’s bankruptcy plan, according to Bloomberg. The retailer expects to emerge from the Chapter 11 process before the end of next week, reducing its debt load by around $800 million. The company worked out a restructuring support agreement that includes new financing from existing creditors, $165 million in new equity from owner Ares Management Corp., Carlyle Group and Brigade Capital Management, Bloomberg reports. Recently sold bonds will also help pay for the move. The judge noted that creditors will still be paid in full as a result of the new structure, and creditors unanimously supported the deal. No plans were released regarding Guitar Center’s 297 brick-and-mortar locations. When it originally filed for bankruptcy, the company also hired A&G …

Retail Sales in November Show Negative Growth for First Time Since May, Remain Higher than Last Year

by Alex Tostado December 16, 2020

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Retail sales in November declined 1.1 percent compared to October of this year, the U.S. Commerce Department reported Wednesday. The monthly decline is the first dip since April, when sales plummeted 14.7 percent due to the COVID-19 pandemic. November sales totaled $546.5 billion, which was an increase of 4.1 percent from November 2019. Additionally, the three-month period from September 2020 to November was 5.2 percent higher than the same time period a year ago. Month-over-month, motor vehicle and parts dealers, home furniture stores, electronics and appliances stores, clothing and accessories stores and sporting goods stores all reported decreased sales. The home improvement and food and beverage sectors grew 1.1 and 1.6 percent, respectively. Matthew Shay, president and CEO of the National Retail Federation (NRF), says the monthly decline is due to consumers holding steady amid rising COVID-19 cases and congressional gridlock. “Consumers held back on spending in November as virus rates spiked, states imposed retail restrictions and congressional stimulus discussions were gridlocked,” says Shay. “While consumers have been bolstered by increases in disposable income and savings, it’s clear that additional fiscal stimulus from Congress is needed and we are hopeful it will be passed soon as we enter the final …

by Alex Tostado December 16, 2020

DULUTH, GA. — The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners voted to acquire 39 acres at Gwinnett Place Mall in Duluth, including the portion of the mall that houses most of the mall’s inline tenants, food court and the shuttered Belk-Parisian store. The Urban Redevelopment Agency of Gwinnett County (URA) will buy the land for $23 million from Moonbeam Capital Investments LLC, a Las Vegas-based investor that bought the mall in 2013 from Simon. Moonbeam Capital put the mall up for sale last fall. The sale does not include the locations of Macy’s, Mega Mart and Beauty Master, which are tenant-owned. Additionally, the former Sears building, which Northwood Ravin acquired in 2018, was not part of the sale. Gwinnett Place Mall was originally completed in 1984. The mall has been used in the film industry in recent years as the setting for movies and TV shows including “Stranger Things,” “Holidate,” “Ozark,” “I, Tonya” and “Greenleaf.” Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners chairwoman Charlotte Nash says the county has been attempting to acquire the land for several years and will redevelop the parcel that has “incredible opportunity.” Gwinnett County will engage the County Department of Planning and Development, the Gwinnett Place Community Improvement …
