99 Cents Only Stores has hired Guggenheim Partners to help cope with its $1 billion in debt, according to two people with knowledge of the matter, becoming the latest retail chain seeking assistance with a borrowing wall.

The deep-discount retailer, which was taken private by Ares Management and Canada Pension Plan Investment Board in 2011, also brought in law firms Proskauer Rose LLP and Milbank Tweed Hadley & McCloy LLP, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the deliberations are private.
