In today's marketplace, going out of business doesn't mean you go away forever. Your storefronts may disappear, but you'll just pop up again online—like CompUSA and Circuit City—or you'll come back on someone else's shelves as a brand, like Linens 'N Things.

The company announced in a press release last week that it's signed a 6 year deal with Home Outfitters, a home goods retailer in Canada:

...under [the agreement] a special line of Linens 'N Things branded home goods will be produced and exclusively sold at Home Outfitters in Canada. The agreement, which includes a broad range of bed and bath, home decor as well as seasonal products, extends through 2016.
