GREENSBORO, N.C. (WFMY)-- The nation's largest mattress retailer has been ailing amid a surge of bed-in-a-box online retailers, too many physical stores and an accounting mess at its parent company, Steinhoff International.
Amid that news Mattress Firm, which has been grappling with declining sales following an overexpansion and a scandal at its parent company, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection Friday.
The company said it will close 700 stores overall, some of them immediately. More than 200 stores will close within days. The company has nearly 10,000 employees and another 125 franchised locations.
Here's the list of North Carolina Mattress Firm stores expected to close within days and be vacated entirely by the end of the month, according to court filings:
