Bed Bath and Beyond (Union, N.J.) has defaulted on its debt and found it can’t repay some of its lenders, according to the embattled retailer’s latest filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

“At this time, the company does not have sufficient resources to repay the amounts under the credit facilities and this will lead the company to consider all strategic alternatives, including restructuring its debt under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code,” the filing said.

The filing is the latest chapter in Bed Bath & Beyond’s ongoing financial tumult. The home goods retailer is also cutting costs, lowering capital expenditures, and closing stores and distribution centers.
