A POPULAR furniture retailer with 260 spots across 40 states is speeding up its store closure process, hosting discounts up to 30% off as it puts six more locations on the chopping block.
The six additions bring At Home’s closure total to 32 stores just weeks following the chain’s bankruptcy filing in June.
As At Home continues to work through its Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings, the home furnishings company has set out to close six more stores.
The affected locations, each in a different state, include:
- 3271 Market Place Drive, Council Bluffs, Iowa 51501
- 101 Randall Road, Lake in the Hills, Illinois 60156
- 3175 West 3rd Street, Bloomington, Indiana 47404
- 3100 Washtenaw Avenue, Ypsilanti, Michigan 48197
- 2341 State Route 66, Ocean Township, New Jersey 07712
- 190 South 500 West, West Bountiful, Utah 84010
Although At Home did not reveal when the six spots will close, they are expected to turn off their lights by September 30, according to Fast Company.
In June, the company shared that it would be shutting 26 locations across 12 states as part of its bankruptcy proceedings, with the additional six spots bringing the total number of At Home closures to 32.
As the six locations wind down their operations, shoppers can expect to see 30% off sales storewide, representing a “limited-time opportunity” for them to save on a wide selection of products, per a press release from Friday.

At Home is receiving assistance throughout the process from Hilco Consumer – Retail, the retail liquidation firm that helped major chains such as Blockbuster, Toys R Us, and Bed Bath & Beyond host their going-out-of-business sales.
“These six stores are offering some of the best deals shoppers will see all year – but only for a short time,” a spokesperson for Hilco Consumer – Retail said in the press release.
“Customers who want the best selection on furniture, décor, and seasonal finds should shop early before the most popular items disappear.”
The sales at the closing stores are expected to run until all merchandise, fixtures, and store equipment is sold.
BANKRUPTCY BUST
At Home officially filed for bankruptcy protections on June 16 due to its sales slump, nearly $2 billion in debt, and a number of economic pressures.
For example, inflation resulted in both higher store prices as well as a more cautious shopper, hesitant to spend money on discretionary goods.
Reduced foot traffic and tariff-related costs have also hurt At Home, which sources a significant portion of its inventory from China.
At Home CEO Brad Weston admitted in a statement that the company is “operating against the backdrop of an increasingly dynamic and rapidly evolving trade environment as we navigate the impact of tariffs.”

At Home is now taking steps to “improve our ability to compete in the marketplace in the face of continued volatility and increase the resilience of our business for the long term,” the top boss added.
As part of the bankruptcy process, the company will be restructured to eliminate its billions of dollars in debt.
At Home will also be given $200 million in funding to keep the company operational throughout the bankruptcy proceedings.
The home goods retailer will continue to fulfill orders, pay vendors, and run its loyalty program, intending to rework its operations throughout the Chapter 11 process and eventually exit bankruptcy.
When that happens, At Home “will move forward with new owners and a meaningfully strengthened balance sheet,” said Weston.
At Home is not the only company struggling in the current retail landscape.
For example, JCPenney sold off 119 stores five years after it filed for bankruptcy and closed 200 outlets across the US.
Plus, a legacy grocery brand has collapsed, forced to file for bankruptcy after 125 years in business.

How does bankruptcy work?
Bankruptcy is a specific legal process that helps companies eliminate debt they can’t repay.
The process allows businesses to start fresh and gain access to new credit.
Supervised by federal courts, bankruptcies allow a company to sell off its assets more easily to pay off creditors, according to Investopedia.
Chapter 11, a common process for companies, is used to restructure a business with the goal of remaining open – even if it means selling off most of the company’s properties.
Chapter 7, on the other hand, sells all of a company’s assets, putting it out of business.
Chapter 15, alternatively, allows for collaboration between American and foreign courts to conduct bankruptcy proceedings with “parties of interest involving more than one country,” per the United States Courts.
