Marvelous Market expanded too quickly and had to file for bankruptcy 
protection -- what is known as chapter 11.  The idea is that they try to 
reorganize and continue on.  There was a recent article somewhere about 
the owner, whose last name I've forgotten.  (Interesting note:  his 
sister is Carla Cohen, who owns the wonderful Politics & Prose, which 
serves MM baked goods in its comfy coffee shop.)  The article suggests 
that Mark is a better baker than businessman, but it appears likely that 
the shops will stay open.  (I personally would be deeply distressed to 
lose their olive bread.)
