Gordmans files for bankruptcy protection, will liquidate inventory and assets

Gordmans Stores Inc. filed for bankruptcy protection Monday, saying it plans to liquidate inventory and assets.

The century-old Omaha-based operator of more than 100 stores in 22 states employs about 5,100 people.

Gordmans, like other mall-based retailers, has been struggling with slumping sales.
