At Home filed for bankruptcy last month and said that it would close 26 “underperforming” stores by the fall. Now, the retail chain announced that two of those stores will stay open.
The 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 showed. The bankruptcy filing and store closures follow several other “big box” retailers that have followed suit this year, including Big Lots, Joann Fabrics, Kohl’s, JCPenney, Macy’s, and Party City.
The company employed about 7,170 employees when it filed for bankruptcy protection.

Why did At Home file for bankruptcy?
Court documents said that rising interest rates, “persistent inflation,” and a growing concern over unsustainable customs costs resulting from increased tariffs led At Home to file for bankruptcy. As a result, At Home has already closed six stores over the past year.
“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 revealed.
As part of the bankruptcy filing, ownership of At Home will be transferred to a group of hedge funds and investment firms based in New York City and San Francisco, as outlined in a news release.
