Boat retailer West Marine Inc. is laying the groundwork for a potential Chapter 11 bankruptcy to restructure its debt, including leases, according to people with knowledge of the matter. The privately held company, controlled by Oaktree Capital Management and L Catterton, is planning to close a number of locations as part of the workout talks, said the people, who asked not to be identified discussing a private matter. The chain’s website lists more than 230 boating-supply and fishing-focused stores across the country. While a Chapter 11 is emerging as the most likely outcome for the restructuring talks, discussions are ongoing and no final terms have been made, the people familiar added. The company is working with Portage Point Partners, FTI Consulting and Kirkland & Ellis . Representatives with the company and Oaktree declined to comment, while messages left with L Catterton were not returned. West Marine is looking to shift its retail business toward a so-called omnichannel approach — where sales at stores and online work in tandem — while tailoring its physical locations to professionals in the boating trade, Bloomberg previously reported . The restructuring talks come some three years after West Marine inked a debt deal known as a liability management exercise, through which private equity firm L Catterton agreed to push down its own borrowings in the repayment line and inject fresh money into the retailer.

narvo vexar The Federal Trade Commission approved 365 Retail's planned $848 million purchase of Cantaloupe ( CTLP ) with a required divestiture. Cantaloupe rose 1% in after hours trading. 365 Retail will be required to divest Cantaloupe's ( CTLP ) Three Square Markets business in order to complete its purchase of Cantaloupe, according to a statement from the antitrust regulator on Friday. 365 Retail will be required to divest Cantaloupe’s Three Square Market business to Seaga Manufacturing . The HSR waiting period for the deal expired on Friday and the closing of the acquisition is expected to occur on about May 8, according to an 8-K filing on Friday. “Millions of workers rely on micromarket kiosks to buy affordable, fresh food during the workday,” said FTC Bureau of Competition Director Daniel Guarnera. “Today’s FTC action seeks to ensure that consumers don’t face higher food prices because of this acquisition. The divestiture of Cantaloupe’s Three Square Market business will preserve competition in the micromarket kiosk industry, directly benefitting American workers that depend on these kiosks for their meals.” In June, Cantaloupe (NASDAQ: CTLP ) agreed to be acquired by 365 Retail Markets, a provider of unattended retail technologies, in a transaction with an equity value of $848 million. 365 Retail agreed to pay $11.20 a share for Cantaloupe.

Apple Inc. raised the starting price of its Mac mini desktop to $799 from $599, adjusting to inventory shortages driven by AI demand and the tight supply of processors. The company is effectively increasing the price by removing the entry-level configuration, a model that includes an M4 processor and 256 gigabytes of storage. The computer now starts with that same chip and 512 gigabytes of space. The $1,399 starting price of the M4 Pro model hasn’t changed. The discontinuation of the $599 tier comes after that model sold out at most outlets. Other configurations still take weeks or months to arrive from Apple’s online store and have been in limited supply at the company’s retail stores. On Thursday, Apple Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook said the shortages were tied in part to the so-called SoC, or system on a chip, the processor that serves as the brains of the Mac mini. “The constraints were primarily driven by the availability of the advanced nodes our SoCs are produced on,” he said on an earnings call with analysts. The other factor is that consumers have been snapping up Mac minis and Mac Studios to run artificial intelligence, he said. “These are amazing platforms for AI and agentic tools, and the customer recognition of that is happening faster than what we had predicted, and so we saw higher than expected demand,” Cook said. He added that the MacBook Neo, which also starts at $599, is seeing stronger-than-anticipated demand.

Both machines can be configured with enough memory to capably run large language models locally, with less reliance on the cloud. Apple is planning to begin producing some Mac mini models in Houston later this year in a shift away from Asia. It has also been preparing updated Mac Studios for the end of the year, Bloomberg News reported . Apple increased prices on...

Walt Disney Co. senior executives are discussing how to unify the company’s disparate mobile apps and turn its streaming service into the first stop for all things Disney, a place where users can book park tickets, buy merchandise, play games and watch movies, according to people familiar with the matter. Disney’s new CEO, Josh D’Amaro, is attempting to break silos within the company and simplify how customers interact with its brand. The new app would marry Disney+ with mobile platforms such as the Disneyland Resort and Disney Cruise Line Navigator apps into what’s internally being described as a “super app,” said the people, who asked not to be named as the information is private. The conversations are at an early stage and no concrete steps have been taken toward developing the product, the people said. Still, the ambition has been at the center of internal presentation materials, and is indicative of the potential D’Amaro, sees in evolving the company’s direct-to-consumer business, the people said. A spokesperson for Disney declined to comment. The company has long flirted with the idea of creating a super app for all things Disney or even a membership program akin to Amazon.com Inc.’s Prime service. D’Amaro’s predecessor Bob Iger toyed with the idea for more than a decade, even testing a less comprehensive version in the UK. As Disney has released more apps in recent years, the company’s periodically revisited whether to combine them. The ambition never gained traction due to logistical setbacks, the people said. Disney is currently working on merging its Hulu online video platform with Disney+, which has faced obstacles due to their separate tech infrastructure and programming rights, the people said. D’Amaro, who succeeded Iger as CEO in March, is keen to revisit the idea. He told shareholders at the company’s annual meeting that month that “Disney+ will continue to evolve beyond a traditional streaming service to become the digital centerpiece of our company...
