"I learned that after almost 50 years as a Seattle-based kitchenware company known for in-store cooking classes and wedding registries, Sur La Table has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and announced it will close 56 of its 112 U.S. stores; the company has set up a website section listing planned closures and warns that stores scheduled to close won't accept returns after August 7 and that purchases during liquidation sales are final." - Eve Batey
