Great American Group to handle Pierre Deux disposition

Woodland Hills, Calif. -- Great American Group said Thursday it has been retained to manage the going-out-of-business sale of all Pierre Deux stores, a French furnishing retailer that operated across 13 states.



Pierre Deux ceased business operations and filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection on June 23.



“The trustee has charged us with selling the company’s inventory in all of the stores,” said Scott Carpenter, executive VP and the head of the Retail Services Division for Great American Group.



The former Pierre Deux sites are located in California, Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Texas and Virginia.



Prior to its June bankruptcy filing, Pierre Deux had previously reorganized under Chapter 11 in New York in 2002.
