Hurricane Sandy blew these stores into bankruptcy.
The company that operates the women’s apparel retailers Mandee, Annie Sez and Afaze declared bankruptcy, saying its insurers won’t pay $6 million in hurricane-related claims, The Post has learned.
“If the insurance companies had been working with us through the process, we wouldn’t be in this position,” Alan Mandelbaum, CEO of Big M, told The Post yesterday.
The storm damaged many of Big M’s stores.
