The breakneck pace of retail bankruptcies slowed in August, with at least three well-known companies filing for Chapter 11.

Compare that to July, when multiple well-known mall brands, including Sur La Table, Ascena Retail Group, and Brooks Brothers, sought bankruptcy protection. Despite the slowdown in bankruptcies, August was still a bloodbath: Several hundred stores closed and thousands of employees lost their jobs.
