The struggling privately owned Mrs. Fields Famous Brands, owner of the famous mall-based cookie stands and TCBY yogurt stores, said Friday it plans to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization, according to a filing with the Securities & Exchange Commission.

Mrs. Fields is plagued with $200 million in debt, a slowing economy where consumers have cut back on discretionary purchases and record-high dairy and ingredient prices. The company also saw the resignation of its Chief Executive Officer Stephen Russo late last month.

The company, in their most recent SEC earnings filing, reported a net loss of $10.7 million last quarter, compared with a loss of $1.4 million in the same period last year.

Damn, I love those cookies!

My favorite part of going to NY Jets game is getting either a Mrs. Feild's brownie or a couple of cookies at the stand at half time.

I met Debbie a few times. Delightful woman. And each time she'd gove me a stack of her business cards, each of which could be redeemed for a cookie any time at any store. That was heaven.

Curse those liberals for putting up signs that explain calorie content. See what you have wrought?

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Jesus Christ, Goth. Your posts get more and more insane.

I worked for Mrs. Fields when I was in high school. Debbi once called the store to personally tell me what a good job I was doing.

I hate to see businesses and stores closing. It's happening all around us because of this lousy economy. Have you ever heard of a PATHMARK closing? Yep, the one down the shore here is closing in a few days.

It was so sad walking around there today, seeing half empty shelves, etc.
