Mired in the troubles of the department store sector plus missteps of its own, the retailer finally collapsed into bankruptcy in 2020. The company emerged from that with new owners, yet another new CEO and, now, a new marketing campaign with the hopeful slogan “Shopping is back!”
The company was saddled with debt and spent the last decade with a continual turnover in CEOs, new store designs that couldn't spark interest, initiatives and rebrands that didn't resonate with customers. The once-beloved retailer has been unprofitable since 2010 with net losses of $4.5 billion.
Forever 21 is one of several brands owned by Authentic Brands, which is in a 50-50 partnership with Simon called Sparc Group.
