A beloved home goods retailer is set to close 26 stores in the US by this fall after filing for bankruptcy.
At Home, a chain selling home décor and furniture, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on Monday because of ‘broader economic and retail-specific market pressures’, according to court documents.
More than two dozen ‘underperforming’ stores are marked for closure by September 30. At Home shuttered six locations over the past year, and its situation has only gotten worse.
‘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,’ state the documents.
The company, based in Coppell, Texas, cited concerns over custom costs from the Trump administration’s tariffs, and ‘persistent inflation’, as reasons that led it to file for bankruptcy.
Here are all the At Homes locations closing, according to the court documents.

Under the bankruptcy process, At Home ownership will be transferred to hedge fund and investment firms in New York City and San Francisco.
At Home CEO Brad Weston stated that the company plans to emerge and ‘move forward with new owners and a meaningfully strengthened balance sheet’.
‘We are grateful to be moving forward with significant support from our financial stakeholders, which demonstrates their confidence in our business and our future strategy,’ stated Weston.
‘As we work through this process, our stores and the teams that support them remain customer focused and committed to serving and inspiring customers, enabling them to Design Their Life AT HOME.’
At Home is the latest American big box retailer to downsize recently.
Its bankruptcy comes after the popular fabrics and crafts retail chain Joann announced it would close 255 stores in May, and the country’s largest party supply retail chain Party City shuttered all of its stores in February after 40 years.
