Cassidy's closes its doors

Article Abstract:

Cassidy's Ltd of Brossard, Quebec, has closed shop after 199 years in the foodservice equipment and supply business. The 450-employee firm, which was founded in 1801, is under the court-ordered control of interim receiver PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc. Cassidy's bankruptcy took the industry by surprise because it appeared to be financially healthy and was planning to celebrate its 200th anniversary in 2001. The company's troubles began to surface after its entire directorial board resigned in mid-Dec 1999.
