Addition to Downfall Section

I would like to add a sentence that states: After filing for bankruptcy in September, Forever 21 is expected to be sold for $81 million dollars to Authentic Brands Group and Simon and Brookfield mall landlords. ^[1]

The proposed sale to Authentic Brands/Brookfield/Simon is already noted under the "Bankruptcy" sub-heading of the "History" section. Honestly, most of the "Downfall" section seems better rewritten and merged into the History section. Pokemonprime (talk) 16:28, 18 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Requesting change to infobox and bankruptcy section

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Forever 21. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

In the Forever 21 info box, please change "Key People" - remove all Chang's and add Daniel Kulle (CEO) with a citation of <https://wwd.com/business-news/retail/daniel-kull-expand-digital-sustainability-efforts-as-forever-21s-new-ceo-1203509614/>

In Bankruptcy section, please add "On February 19, 2020 Forever 21 had reached a deal to sell all of its assets for $81 million to a consortium of mall operators Simon Property Group and Brookfield Properties, and brand management firm Authentic Brands Group." With a citation of <https://www.adweek.com/retail/authentic-brands-ceo-jamie-salter-on-his-companys-global-ambitions-as-it-buys-forever-21/>
