Are you a fan of the furniture and decor chain At Home? Well, I’m sorry to say that I have bad news. The company is going through a bankruptcy process and has already announced the closure of 29 branches, including those in the cities of Crestwood, Peoria, and Geneva, in Illinois. Stores in Florida, New York, Virginia, and California, among many others, will also be affected. Last June, At Home declared bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the bankruptcy law. According to information published by NBC Chicago, this decision is part of a restructuring plan aimed not only at eliminating debt but also at generating profits for future operations.
Brad Weston, the CEO of the chain, stated in a press release to USA Today that the challenges facing the company have much to do with the tariffs imposed by Donald Trump, which have caused many of its establishments to not only operate at suboptimal levels but have also caused them to close down. The company has also made it public that the ownership of the chain has passed to a group of hedge funds and investment firms based in New York and San Francisco.
At Home
Founded in 1979 in Texas, United States, At Home is a chain of stores specializing in the sale of furniture and home decor products. Its catalog includes modular furniture and decorative elements, targeting young families with practical needs. Throughout its aisles, you can find sofas, rugs, lamps, tables, and any other decorative items.
Bankruptcy
Last June, the chain announced that it was declaring bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. According to court documents, this situation is due to “broader economic pressures and specific retail market challenges”. According to information published by NBC Chicago, this move aims to initiate a restructuring plan with the goal of not only eliminating the $2 billion debt but also achieving a profit of $200 million to sustain operations in the future.
Brad Weston, the company’s CEO, stated that the challenges preventing the company from operating optimally are rooted in the difficulties of retail, especially due to the impact of tariffs. Official records indicate that “Given the cost associated with operating physical stores and the problems facing the retail industry, several of At Home’s remaining stores are operating at suboptimal performance levels”.
