Key Christmas retailer files for Chapter 11 bankrutpcy
Gordon Companies, a key Christmas retailer, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The company, which has been family-owned and operated for nearly 50 years, owns several brands including Christmas Central and The Christmas.com e-commerce marketplace. Gordon's financial struggles are partly due to a failed attempt to implement a new inventory and order management system.
The company alleges Vision33, a SAP reseller, overcharged for a system that failed to perform as expected. This system failure led to Gordon halting sales on certain marketplace channels and causing Target to delay shipments of Gordon's products by a week. Despite facing these challenges, Gordon still owns a significant amount of assets and liabilities, with an estimated range of $10 million to $50 million.
