| Bellis Fair parent company filed for bankruptcy
Quote:
The owners of Bellis Fair Mall in Bellingham have filed for bankruptcy protection. The parent company, General Growth Properties, is the second biggest mall operator in the United States with over 200 shopping centres.
The move by the Chicago based company had been widely anticipated since the fall, when the company warned it might have to seek protection if it didn't get lenders to rework debt terms. But don't get ready for any "going out of business" sales anytime soon. It's believed Bellis Fair is one of the most profitable properties and will likely stay open even if it means finding new ownership.

"All you can eat" however, is a completely different story. | In Vancouver..the word buffet is scary...but I've been to some resturants in Toronto...and they were clean and had very decent food.

So wait...if it's that profitable, why is it going bankrupt? Does profitability not equal better credit terms?

OCB as a buffet is decent, but if you paid regular price and got OCB quality food..... well, you get the point.

lol... GGP, woke up a few days ago to find out my shares dropped 50% and it's been delisted. Oh well, I didn't own that much anyways. It was a penny stock, I don't invest much in those, just something to play with.
