Fred's (FREDQ) Stock Price, News & Analysis

Company Overview

Fred’s Inc operates a chain of general merchandise and pharmacy stores in the southeastern United States, offering a broad array of products including prescription and over-the-counter pharmaceuticals, health and beauty aids, home essentials, apparel, electronics and automotive goods. The company’s retail outlets are designed to serve small and mid-sized communities, with a focus on providing convenience and value to customers in suburban and rural markets.

Founded in 1947 and headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee, Fred’s grew from a single five-and-dime format into a network of more than 500 locations across approximately 16 states. During its expansion, the company emphasized private-label brands and complementary services, such as in-store clinics, to differentiate its offerings. Over the decades, Fred’s built a local presence by tailoring inventory and store layouts to regional consumer needs.

In September 2019, Fred’s filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, citing liquidity constraints and competitive pressures in the retail sector. The company announced plans to liquidate its assets and close all remaining stores, and its common shares were subsequently delisted from major exchanges and began trading over the counter under the symbol FREDQ. As a result, Fred’s has ceased retail operations and is in the process of winding down its remaining corporate affairs.
