An auction for Eddie Bauer’s store operations scheduled for Friday has been canceled due to lack of interest, according to bankruptcy court documents filed this week.

The entity operating Eddie Bauer’s stores in the U.S. and Canada filed for bankruptcy last month and said at the time that all 175 locations would shutter unless a buyer could be found. Store-closing sales at all of the brick-and-mortar stores will continue unless a satisfactory bid materializes, per this week’s filing.
