Saks is also said to be weighing bids for its Club Libby Lu preteen business. Los Angeles-based Forever 21, the girls' specialty retailer, was in talks with Saks for the chain, but has since elected to drop out of the process, according to a financial source.Lawrence Meyer, senior vice president at Forever 21, declined comment. A spokeswoman for Saks Inc. declined comment.
Forever 21 was considered by several financial bankers as an ideal candidate to buy the girls' chain because it would fit snugly into its business. Earlier this year, Forever 21 purchased the Gadzooks chain.
Other names that have been mentioned as possible buyers of Club Libby Lu are Too Inc., Claire's and Build-A-Bear.
