NATIONAL—Now that furniture and housewares seller Bombay Company has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, word on the street (and in Furniture Today newspaper) is that they will they close all of their US locations. For brokers, this means there are a few juicy storefronts up for grabs. For shoppers, this means blockbuster going-out-of-business sales, which according to staffer at the Flatiron store, will be happening "eventually." [RackedWire Inbox; Furniture Today]
