Deep-Discount Retailer 99 Cents Only to Close All 371 Store Locations

by Jeff Shaw April 5, 2024

COMMERCE, CALIF. — 99 Cents Only Stores LLC has announced plans to close all 371 of its stores and wind down business operations. The company has entered into an agreement with Hilco Global to liquidate all merchandise and dispose of fixtures, furnishings and equipment at the stores. Sales under this agreement are expected to begin today. 99 Cents Only was founded in 1982 as a deep-discount retailer where every item cost less than a dollar. The company is headquartered in the southeast Los Angeles suburb of Commerce, and currently operates stores in California, Texas, Arizona and Nevada. The company consulted its financial and legal advisors to find a way to continue operating, but ultimately decided the wind-down was necessary and the best way to maximize the value of its assets. Hilco Real Estate will manage the sale of the company’s owned and leased real estate assets. The company has appointed Chris Wells, managing director at Alvarez & Marsal, as chief restructuring officer. Additionally, Mike Simoncic, interim CEO of 99 Cents Only and managing director at Alvarez & Marsal, will step down. “This was an extremely difficult decision and is not the outcome we expected or hoped to achieve,” said Simoncic. “Unfortunately, the …

Softened Rents, Tenant Dynamics Define Orange County’s Multifamily Market

by Jeff Shaw April 5, 2024

— By Pat Swanson, executive vice president, Colliers International — As Orange County enters 2024, its multifamily market stands at the brink of transformation, confronting challenges like softened rents, affordability dynamics and the resilience required in the face of tenant-related complexities. In the midst of a robust economy, the region grapples with obstacles and opportunities that will significantly shape the future of its real estate sector. Orange County’s economic vitality is evident, with a 5.2 percent growth in U.S. GDP and a thriving job market. However, the looming shadow of interest rate fluctuations and inflation above 3 percent has briefly slowed down real estate transactions. While rates are predicted to stabilize, the potential for modest reductions later in the year signals a period of nuanced economic growth and sustained higher rates. In 2024, Orange County’s multifamily housing market is set for change, departing from previous trends of rent increases. The region anticipates modest growth that will be influenced by factors like slower job growth, an influx of 510,000 new units and the mounting challenge of finding qualified tenants. Affordability takes center stage, with rent-to-income ratios reaching 29.8 percent. The widening affordability gap between owning a home and renting is further …
