Eddie Bauer saved -- but why?
Eddie Bauer -- purveyor of ill-fitting dress shirts and baggy khakis -- has been auctioned off to a San Francisco-based private equity firm, which plans to keep the chain intact. Great, because if L.L. Bean is out of fleece vests, that means we'll still have another place to shop for them. We're happy that E.B. employees will keep their jobs, but sad that this means that the chain will continue to take up valuable mall real estate.
