Amazon.com Inc. and Forever 21 Inc. are considering making bids for bankrupt retailer American Apparel Inc., Bloomberg News reported yesterday. Authentic Brands Group LLC, which owns Aeropostale and Juicy Couture, is also mulling an offer. American Apparel filed for its second bankruptcy within a year in November with the intent to sell the company. Gildan Activewear Inc., a Canadian T-shirt and underwear maker, made an initial offer of $66 million for the brand and inventory but not any of the company’s stores.
