Texas-based retailer At Home will close 26 stores this fall, following its bankruptcy filing this week.
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. At least 26 stores, from California to New York, will close by Sept. 30.
Why did At Home file for bankruptcy?
According to court documents, At Home claimed that it’s becoming increasingly harder to operate its stores. Their reasons were rising interest rates, “persistent inflation,” and a growing concern over unsustainable customs costs resulting from increased tariffs that led to filing for bankruptcy.
“Given the expenses associated with brick-and-mortar operation and the issues affecting the retail industry, a number of the (At Home) remaining stores are operating at sub-optimal performance levels,” court documents reveal.
According to the News release, 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.
