How a 140-Year-Old Retailer Turned Bankruptcy Into Billion-Dollar Revival

from The Turnaround Podcast with Fexingo: Distressed Businesses, Restructuring, and Recovery · host Fexingo

Episode 15 of The Turnaround Podcast. Lucas and Luna examine the stunning resurrection of Hudson's Bay Company, the iconic Canadian retailer that filed for bankruptcy in 2020 and has since orchestrated one of the most impressive retail comebacks in recent memory. They break down the specific moves: how CEO Helena Foulkes slashed debt by $1.2 billion, closed 40 underperforming stores while investing in digital, and refocused on the company's real estate crown jewels. The hosts also connect the story to today's broader market, where the S&P 500 sits at 7,514 and small caps are surging. A masterclass in retail restructuring. #HudsonsBay #RetailTurnaround #Bankruptcy #Restructuring #RetailRevival #HelenaFoulkes #DepartmentStore #RetailRealEstate #DigitalTransformation #DebtRestructuring #Business #TurnaroundPodcast #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #RetailStrategy #CorporateComeback #StoreClosures #RealEstateValue Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
