The chain fell into bankruptcy during the mid 1990s, and eventually ceased operation in 1996.[2] It was famous for its ability to profit from short-lived fashion fads[1] and also owned men's clothing retailers Silverman's, by purchasing 273 stores from Retail Ventures, Inc. (RVI), parent of American Eagle Outfitters, in 1989. In 1993, it purchased the Chess King clothing chain from the Melville Corporation.[3] It filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 1994 and closed in 1996. At its end, the company operated just over 500 locations,[2] primarily in enclosed malls.[1]MainStreet.com listed it in 2011 among brand names "gone but not forgotten".[4] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 {{Cite web| url=http://www.fundinguniverse.com/company-histories/MerryGoRound-Enterprises-Inc-Company-History.html| title=Merry-Go-Round Enterprises, Inc.| publisher=Fundinguniverse.com| accessdate=December 10, 2011}} 2. ^1 2 {{Cite news| url=https://www.nytimes.com/1996/02/03/business/bankrupt-merry-go-round-decides-to-go-out-of-business.html| title=Bankrupt Merry-Go-Round Decides to Go Out of Business| date=February 3, 1996| last=Steinhauser| first=Jennifer| work=The New York Times| publisher=NYTimes.com| accessdate=2014-02-06}} 3. ^{{Cite news| url=http://articles.baltimoresun.com/1993-03-18/business/1993077123_1_chess-king-merry-ashley| title=Merry-Go-Round to buy Chess King; Joppa-based retailer to grow nearly 50%| date=March 18, 1993| last=Dresser| first=Michael| work=The Baltimore Sun| publisher=| accessdate=2014-03-28}} 4. ^{{cite web| first=Joe| last=Mont| url=http://www.mainstreet.com/article/smart-spending/10-brand-names-gone-not-forgotten?page=4| title=10 Brand Names Gone, But Not Forgotten| date=August 15, 2011| publisher=Mainstreet.com| accessdate=2014-02-06}} External links
