I have close to zero economic knowledge but as soon as I read they were owned by a private equity mob I felt strangely suspicious.....
103 directly owned stores and 61 franchised stores.. the franchised stores should survive.. you have a 61/164 (or 37.2%) chance you'll be able to keep your A&R! (Presumably the ebook division won't survive though.)
Good luck..
