The mall and airport seller, best known for massage chairs, quirky gadgets, and travel luggage, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in federal court on Thursday. It was Brookstone's second bankruptcy round in four years.
 

The company will keep its 35 airport stores and website open and running while it attempts to find a buyer.

 

It has secured a $30 million loan to finance operations during the sale. In a bankruptcy filing, Brookstone said it had liabilities totaling up to $500 million and assets between $50 to $100 million.

Brookstone will always have a soft spot in my heart because the one in my local mall always had a demo hammock set up so I would lie down in it while my parents shopped.

 

Later in life, I appreciated the lengths they would go to pretending they weren't selling you a vibrator.
