Stepping Out
Shoe Pavilion, the Sherman Oaks–based publicly traded company, is closing all 64 of its stores by the end of the year. The company, which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in July, was one of the largest independent off-price shoe retailers on the West Coast. The company said it will be liquidating all its merchandise over the next 10 to 12 weeks. Shoe Pavilion joins Mervyns, which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection earlier this year but said on Oct. 17 it would liquidate all its merchandise and close its 149 stores.
