Harry & David Files Plan to Emerge From Bankruptcy

Fruit basket and gifts retailer Harry & David plans to exit bankruptcy protection in late summer, it said in a reorganization plan filed. The company, which entered Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in March after struggling to remain afloat during the recession and as online and discount competitors proliferated, said the plan has the support of its official committee of unsecured creditors and about 81 percent of the company's noteholders.
