Phoenix Retail, LLC, which trades as PHOENIX, is a New York based apparel retailer that runs the Express and Bonobos brands in the United States. It was formed in 2024 by the brand management firm WHP Global together with the mall landlords Simon Property Group, Brookfield Properties and Centennial Real Estate, specifically to buy the operating business of Express, Inc. out of Chapter 11. A bankruptcy judge approved the bid in June 2024 and the purchase closed later that month for roughly 174 million dollars in cash and assumed liabilities, keeping more than 450 stores trading and about 7,000 jobs in place. The company now operates those stores plus the two brands' e-commerce sites, selling men's and women's workwear, denim and tailored clothing.

Phoenix Retail, LLC (Express) files nothing with the SEC, so none of this comes from a filer record. The description was written for this site in August 2026 from PHOENIX Closes Acquisition of Retail Operating Assets from Express Inc. (PR Newswire), PHOENIX receives court approval to acquire operations of Express (WHP Global) and Express, Bonobos acquired out of bankruptcy (Retail Dive). The ownership figures below come from the holders' filings instead, and are sourced row by row.
The disclosed stakes
One row per position. Where a holder reports the same company in two share classes, both rows are shown rather than summed, because the class is part of a position's identity.
Where each figure comes from
A private stake has no ownership form behind it, so the source is always the holder's own filing or disclosure. Anything modelled says so, with the arithmetic.

What this page is not
It is not a complete register. It lists the holders who happen to be inside the researched set and disclosed the stake themselves. A private company can have many other shareholders, and nothing here rules them out: venture investors, founders and employees usually appear in no public filing at all. Percentages are of Phoenix Retail, LLC (Express) where a holder stated one, and are missing where no holder did.
