Major home store chain is shutting down 30 locations

If your local At Home was your go-to for last-minute throw pillows or impulse-buying four fake plants at once… it might be time to light a candle for it. Preferably, one you bought there on clearance.

After months of financial tailspins and store-by-store uncertainty, At Home Group just confirmed it is closing 30 locations by September 30, 2025, as part of its ongoing bankruptcy proceedings. This marks yet another body blow in the slow implosion of America’s home goods sector—and this one stings a bit.

The company had already been teetering on the edge since filing for Chapter 11 in June. Now it’s leaning into a full reset mode. This includes massive going-out-of-business sales at soon-to-be-shuttered stores in 15 states, including California, Florida, New York, and Virginia (yes, everything is going, including the shelves themselves).

Which Stores Are Closing?

Here’s a quick rundown of what’s happening:

Nearly $2 billion in debt is being wiped out in a restructuring deal with big-money backers, including Redwood Capital and Anchorage.

$200 million in fresh capital is being funneled in to help keep the lights on at surviving locations.

Customers will get up to 30% off everything at the closing stores—no coupons, no gift cards (gift cards were accepted until August 14, 2025, at closing locations), and definitely no returns.

The chain’s issues extend beyond poor bookkeeping. Tariffs on imported goods, for example, crushed their margins (90% of their products come from overseas). Add that to inflation, sky-high interest rates, and customers who’ve decided they don’t need another vase shaped like a pineapple—and here we are.

A word of warning, though: don’t get too comfortable if your store wasn’t on the closing list, as this may not be the final round. Even with the court-approved restructuring plan, At Home’s future feels like a shaky end table: looks fine at first glance, but one wrong move and it’s on the floor.

So yeah, if you’ve had your eye on a neon sign that says “Good Vibes Only” or a $600 velvet chair no one will sit in, now’s your moment. Just don’t expect a refund.
