Z Gallerie, a privately-held retailer of home furnishings and decorative accessories, has emerged from Chapter 11 six months after filing for bankruptcy protection.

The Gardena company said in its April filing that the economic recession, plus widespread markdowns and going-out-of-business sales at its competitors, had hurt its business.

Founded in 1979, the company now operates 54 retail locations in 18 states, a website and one outlet.
