Capitalism at its finest. Thanks to a viral tweet from user DetectivePrince, it’s beyond clear that we are truly living in the worst possible timeline with no relief in sight.
Just to put some well-deserved respect on JOANN’s *GOT DANG* name…it needs to be stated that the fabric store was founded 82 years ago in Ohio. Read that again. 82 YEARS AGO.
JOANN Fabrics was established in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and forty fucking three, just to have SSH Holdings plaster a neon orange sign over their corpse and sell the shittiest quality costumes known to man.
So, it’s tough to see this update: At Home has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and will be shuttering 29 “underperforming” stores by September 30, 2025.
Why At Home Is Closing Stores
According to court documents, the retailer cited rising interest rates, “persistent inflation,” and unsustainable customs costs tied to tariffs as major reasons for the bankruptcy filing.
While At Home has remained a go-to spot for affordable décor, these broader economic pressures have hit them hard, similar to what we’ve seen with other retailers like Joann Fabrics, Big Lots, and Party City.
As part of the bankruptcy process, ownership of At Home is shifting to a group of hedge funds and investment firms based in New York and San Francisco.
Which Stores Are Closing?
Here are the 29 locations that will close by the end of September:
All closures are expected by September 30, 2025.
What This Means for Shoppers
For those of us who love hunting down quirky accent chairs or oversized planters, this is a reminder to keep an eye on which locations are still standing. If your local store is on the closure list, you may want to swing by before the end of September—liquidation sales often mean steep discounts.
Online shopping with At Home remains an option, too, which is how I’ve scored some of my favorite patio pieces. And if your nearest At Home is closing and you’re looking for fresh inspiration, I’ve rounded up 27+ online furniture and decor stores that deliver stylish furniture and décor without breaking the bank. Just be mindful that not every trendy option online lives up to the hype. I learned that firsthand in my honest review of Ruggable rugs.
