Eddie Bauer Holdings Inc. (Redmond, Wash.), which emerged from bankruptcy as a standalone company last year, has put itself on the auction block.
The 375-unit outdoor lifestyle retailer said it hired Goldman, Sachs as an adviser to explore strategic alternatives, including a possible sale.
The company had formerly been a division of Spiegel Corp. (Downers Grove, Ill.), which declared bankruptcy in 1994 and reorganized as Eddie Bauer Holdings in 2005.
