Some teen quotes simply to drive home the point that Apollo Global Management's investment in Claire's Stores ain't exactly paying off. Bed Bath & Beyond ($BBY) may close 80-100 stores. Golden Gate Capital-owned Eddie Bauer is reportedly looking for a buyer while also focusing on a debt restructuring: Guggenheim Securities is reported running the sellside mandate.
