Home goods retailer announces 'last day' of business, closing stores in 16 states

1 year ago 6

There are 49 remaining Christmas Tree Shops locations across 16 states.

WASHINGTON — Christmas Tree Shops has set the closing date for all of its remaining stores.

The home-goods retailer announced on its website that Saturday, Aug. 12 will be the "Last Day" of business before the stores close their doors for good. 

This comes just three months after the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection

The retailer is also warning customers to watch out for fake websites claiming to be them, nothing that Christmas Tree Shops "does not sell online." 

"There are several websites and Facebook pages claiming to be us. Please make sure you're on our official website and Facebook page before providing any personal information," a notice posted on the company's official website said. 

When the Massachusetts-based chain filed for bankruptcy it aimed to complete restructuring and exit Chapter 11 as a “financially stronger retailer” by the end of August. At the time, Christmas Tree Shops planned to close just a small number of underperforming stores.

But in a court filing in late June, Christmas Tree Shops confirmed that it defaulted on a $45 million bankruptcy loan and had agreed to liquidate it's remaining locations, unless a buyer emerged in the final hour.

More than 20 locations have already closed since the going-out-of-business sales began. As of this week, there are still 49 Christmas Tree Shops locations in 16 states, according to its online store locator. 

The company has been under new ownership since Bed Bath & Beyond, which also declared bankruptcy earlier this year, sold them in 2020.
