Comeback Brands: Ten Famous Brands Coming Back to Life

In the last two years, dozens of top retailers have liquidated merchandise, shuttered stores and filed for bankruptcy. But thanks to customer loyalty and management smarts, brands once given up for dead are now alive and kicking.
Conde Nast was ruthless with its print magazine titles in 2009, shuttering many niche favorites like Domino. Fans were thrilled this week when content from Domino began reappearing under the Brides magazine masthead on the company's Brides.com website.
Conde Nast is using 'Gourmet,' the food magazine it shut down last fall, as a low-risk guinea pig for digital development.
