Texas-based home goods retailer At Home will close 26 “underperforming” stores by the fall after it filed for bankruptcy on Monday.
At Home, a furniture and home decor retailer based in Coppell, Texas, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on Monday, June 16 as a result of “broader economic and retail-specific market pressures,” court documents reveal. As a result, 26 stores, from California to New York, will close by Sept. 30.
The bankruptcy filing and store closures come after several other big box retailers have done the same this year, including Big Lots, Joann Fabrics, Kohl’s, JCPenney, Macy’s and Party City.
Here’s what to know about the filing and how it will impact At Home customers.
Why did At Home file for bankruptcy?
Court documents state that rising interest rates, “persistent inflation” and a growing concern over unsustainable customs costs resulting from increased tariffs, led At Home to file for bankruptcy. As a result, At Home already closed six stores over the past year.
“Given the expenses associated with brick-and-mortar operation and the issues affecting the retail industry, a numberof the (At Home) remaining stores are operating at sub-optimal performance levels,” court documents reveal.
As part of the bankruptcy filing, ownership of At Home will be transferred to a group of hedge funds and investment firms based in New York City, New York and San Francisco, California, as outlined in a news release.
