Century 21

Century 21, a well-known department store, has been operational for around 60 years. It only had 13 sites in the United States at this time. And, despite its enormous popularity, the off-price clothes shop appears to be on the verge of going out of business. Unfortunately, Century 21 filed for bankruptcy in 2020, which resulted in the closure of all of these locations.Co-CEO Raymond Gindi blames insurance companies for the chain’s downfall in a statement, claiming that they “have turned their backs on us at this most critical time,” referring to the global epidemic.

After a short look at the various companies that have closed several stores last year, let us go back to our main topic and check out more companies that are no longer under American. We bet you would be surprised to find out that there are even more companies that are no longer under American management!

Strategic Hotels And Resorts

There are currently 17 luxury hotels in the United States and one in Germany under the ownership of this hotel brand. Founded in 1997, Strategic Hotels and Resorts is a family-owned and operated business. Laurence S. Geller, a philanthropist and real estate investor was the inspiration for the project. In 2016, it was reported that a Chinese corporation called Anbang Insurance Group was interested in purchasing it for $6.5 million. However, it appears that the contract was renegotiated in the end since the insurance firm was able to buy the hotel chain for $1 million less than initially agreed. That one of the properties was unable to be sold has anything to do with the situation. Because it was so close to a naval installation, the United States authorities prohibited it from passing through.
