Vegas outlet store to close

Friday, April 18, 2003 | 11:19 a.m.

The Las Vegas Spiegel store at the Belz Factory Outlet World, 7400 Las Vegas Blvd. South, is scheduled to close under the Spiegel Group's plan to close all of its Spiegel outlet and clearance stores as part of its reorganization plan.

The apparel and home furnishings retailer filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection last month.

The company intends to close 12 Spiegel outlet stores, four Spiegel clearance stores and five Newport News outlet stores nationwide. Downers Grove-based Spiegel Inc. needs approval from the bankruptcy court before it begins closing the outlet stores, said Spiegel spokeswoman Debbie Koopman.

Spiegel plans to hire a liquidator to handle all aspects of the store closings. The company expects to begin this process in May.
