Tiger Oak Media, publisher of Minnesota Bride and more than 20 other specialty magazines, has filed for chapter 11 protection, the Minnesota Star Tribune reported. The company, based in downtown Minneapolis, indicated in its bankruptcy filing on Monday that it has assets of up to $50,000 and owes at least 200 creditors between $1 million and $10 million. Its full financial schedules have yet to be filed, although specific claims add up to more than $2 million. Tiger Oak, which also has an office in Seattle, publishes magazines geared to the bridal, business and meetings and events markets, according to its website. Tiger Oak shut down its Minnesota Business magazine late last year. The company employs 86 people, said a filing in U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Minnesota.
