Going Concern [Abstract]

Going Concern

2. GOING CONCERN  

As of August 3, 2019, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Facility and Term Loan Agreement. However, the lender under the Credit Facility has imposed additional availability reserves which will increase over time. Based on the Company’s current operating plan, the Company anticipates significant liquidity constraints, and considering these liquidity concerns, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to remain in compliance.  If any event of default is triggered and the Company does not obtain a waiver from its lenders, the lenders can, among other things, accelerate the entire outstanding amount of the debt, which could result in the Company needing to seek bankruptcy protection to protect stakeholder value. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The Company is, with the assistance of strategic advisors including Greenhill & Co., LLC, exploring various potential strategic and financial alternatives and is engaged in ongoing discussions with its lenders. Such strategic and financial alternatives include, among other things, a sale of the company or certain of its assets and consideration of out-of-court restructurings as well as bankruptcy court proceedings to effectuate any such sale or to recapitalize or restructure the Company’s indebtedness and other obligations.  There are no assurances that such alternatives will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all. In an effort to reduce costs and better position the Company for operational profitability the Company has adopted a plan to close approximately 50 underperforming stores as their leases expire over the next six months.  The Company has also made provisions to have sufficient inventory available through the anticipated duration of the Company’s exploration of financial and strategic alternatives.
