At Home Closing 3 Stores in New Jersey After Bankruptcy Filing

It's sad, but we have been waiting to see how this list of closings would impact New Jersey.

At Home, the big box retailer, announced in June that it would file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and would close some of its 260 stores across 40 states as part of the process.

Big Lots, Party City, and Joanne Fabrics have made similar moves in the past year.

At Home is trying to eliminate $2 billion in debt and provide new funding to "support the company through its restructuring process and beyond."

All of these companies are fighting declining in-store traffic and competition from online retailers, as well as the potential impacts of the administration's trade policies, as At Home has noted.

What At Home is Saying

At Home CEO Brad Weston, in the June bankruptcy announcement, said: "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."

What At Home Sells

At Home calls itself the home decor superstore.

They sell a wide variety of items, like furniture, rugs, wall art, and home accents. They also offer a large selection of patio furniture, outdoor cushions, and garden decor.

And that's not all. At Home has items for the bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom, as well as lamps, lighting, and organization and storage solutions.
