Wattles Acquisition Corp

Wattles Acquisition Corp was a blank-check special purpose acquisition company that filed an S-1/A registration amendment with the SEC on April 29, 2008, as it advanced toward its initial public offering. The company was sponsored by Mark Wattles, best known as the founder of Hollywood Video, and was organized to pursue acquisition targets in the retail and consumer sector. The filing reflects the pre-deal registration stage typical of SPACs of that era, when blank-check vehicles were a growing mechanism for retail-focused executives to deploy capital. Wattles Acquisition Corp represents a notable early-generation SPAC from a period that preceded the post-2020 SPAC boom.
