Mrs. Fields emerges from bankruptcy
Oct. 27, 2008, SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH – Mrs. Fields’ Original Cookies Inc. announced it has emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy "with an improved balance sheet, a good working capital position, and new ownership." The company filed for Chapter 11 in mid-August.

"The prepackaged bankruptcy filing was the perfect means to complete the company’s reorganization," said Michael Ward, interim co-chief executive officer. "Within 60 days of filing the Chapter 11 petition, we were able to significantly de-lever the company’s balance sheet, establish a credit facility to support our working capital needs, and emerge from bankruptcy fully capable of meeting and exceeding customer expectations." | FULL STORY
