On Wednesday, McCrory Corp., the once-venerable “five-and-dime” store chain and a centerpiece of Riklis’ financial holdings, filed for federal bankruptcy court protection from creditors. The York, Pa.-based company, which operates 819 variety stores under the McCrory, J. J. Newberry, McLellan and Kress names, said it intends to stay in business while it reorganizes. Ninety-eight McCrory stores are in California, many in struggling inner-city areas.The 109-year-old chain was the victim of the recession, mounting debts and fading customer interest in dime stores. It is the latest major U.S. retailer to seek Chapter 11 protection because of rising debts and flagging sales.It also was the latest--and perhaps the biggest--in a series of financial reversals for Riklis.Last December, his Las Vegas casino, the Riviera Hotel, filed for bankruptcy protection. Another company Riklis controlled until late 1990, E-II Holdings Inc., a spinoff of the former Beatrice Co., faces a class-action suit brought by bondholders. (English)
