Sur La Table files for bankruptcy

A man passes a boarded up Sur La Table on Colorado Boulevard in Pasadena on Monday, March 23, 2020. The stores throughout the nation closed during the coronavirus outbreak.

Sur La Table, the nearly 50-year-old purveyor of upscale kitchenware, has gone bankrupt.

The company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection late Wednesday, announcing in a press release that it's putting itself up for sale and will close a substantial number of stores so it can "prosper in the current retail environment and position the company for a vibrant future."
