Bankruptcy lawyers for Crumbs Bake Shop Inc. are preparing to hold an auction on Thursday to see who else has a sweet tooth for the chain, whose 49 cupcake stores closed suddenly on July 7, the Wall Street Journal reported on Saturday. An investor group that includes Dippin’ Dots owner Fischer Enterprises and reality TV show host Marcus Lemonis plan to open the auction with a multimillion-dollar offer. The group’s approximately $6.5 million credit bid would forgive loans Fischer and Lemonis have extended to Crumbs, including a $1.1 million loan that is paying for the company’s bankruptcy.
