At Home’s financial troubles come as other retailers and chains have recently filed for bankruptcy protection, including Joann, Rite Aid and Party City.
WASHINGTON — A popular home decor retailer will close nearly 30 stores as part of the company’s bankruptcy proceedings.
At Home, a home goods chain based in Texas, announced it had filed for bankruptcy on Monday due to slower consumer spending and the impact of tariffs. In a court filing, the retailer listed 26 “underperforming” stores in 12 states that are set to shutter initially.
The company has 260 retail locations across 40 states and has said it planned to keep the majority of its stores open. However, the Wall Street Journal reported last week that the retailer plans to close around 20 stores as part of its bankruptcy proceedings.
“We are continuing to operate in the normal course of business and provide exceptional value through affordable design and decorating solutions both in-store and online,” the company said on its restructuring website. “At Home is not shutting down.”
Before Monday’s filing, the retailer had closed six stores in the last year.
Although a final closing date was not immediately known, the court filing stated that the debtors “anticipate all Sales at the Initial Closing Stores to be completed, and the properties vacated, by September 30, 2025.”
The company said more underperforming stores could close in the future as the retailer goes through the bankruptcy process.
At Home’s financial troubles come as other retailers and chains have recently filed for bankruptcy protection, including Joann, Rite Aid and Party City.
The retailer announced Monday it had entered an agreement with lenders to “eliminate substantially” the company’s nearly $2 billion debt through a restructuring process. Additionally, the agreement will provide $200 million in funding to help keep stores operational during the bankruptcy process.
“We are pleased to have reached this agreement with our lenders, which represents a critical and positive advancement of our work to best position At Home for the future,” Chief Executive Officer of At Home Brad Weston said in a statement. “Over the past several months, we’ve taken deliberate steps to strengthen the foundation of our business – sharpening our focus, elevating our customer value proposition, and driving operational discipline. While we have made significant progress advancing our initiatives to date, we are operating against the backdrop of an increasingly dynamic and rapidly evolving trade environment as we navigate the impact of tariffs.”
“The steps we are taking today to fully de-lever our balance sheet will 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,” Weston added.
Weston said that once the company exits Chapter 11 protection, it “will move forward with new owners and a meaningfully strengthened balance sheet.”
At Home, formerly known as Garden Ridge, offers a diverse selection of home decor and furniture items, including kitchen and dining sets, outdoor patio furniture, and rugs.
