The move comes after the Québec Superior Court approved an amended and restated initial order and a liquidation order pursuant to the companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act permitting it to proceed with the sale of its assets and wind-down of its operations.
In October, the retailer filed for bankruptcy protection with Canadian courts, its business having been hit particularly hard by the Covid pandemic.
Its recent second-quarter results showed a year-on-year sales decline of 70% to $14.7m from $49.7m a year prior. Net earnings amounted to $337,000, compared to a net loss of $305,000.
Le Château will remain fully operational throughout the liquidation process and physical stores are expected to remain open in conformity with provincial and regional guidelines.
