Giant Carpet declares bankruptcy PDF Print E-mail
Written by HGO Staff   
TORONTO - According to reports in at least two media outlets, Giant Carpet & Flooring has declared bankruptcy, a victim of a sagging housing market and slumping consumer confidence.

Both the Toronto Star and CityNews.ca reported that the 12-unit chain owes about $5.2 million. The flooring specialist apparently closed its doors late last week, putting 100 people out of work and leaving customers scrambling for their unfilled orders.

The Richmond Hill-based Perry Krieger and Associates Inc. have been appointed trustee-in-bankruptcy. The bankruptcy documents have yet to be published.

The Toronto-based liquidation specialist Danbury Sales will handle the sale of Giant's remaining inventory.
