Bakers Footwear Group Inc. won permission to liquidate its 56 remaining shoe stores, a ruling that essentially signifies the death of an 88-year-old chain that saw several attempts to stay in operation, Dow Jones DBR Small Cap reported today. Bankruptcy Judge Charles E. Rendlen III on Wednesday approved Bakers's request to launch a final round of going-out-of-business sales at locations spanning from New Jersey to California.
