Full list of 29 home goods chain store locations closing this fall

Metro8 hours ago

A beloved home goods retailer is set to close 26 stores in the US by this fall after filing for bankruptcy.
At Home, a chain selling home décor and furniture, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on Monday because of 'broader economic and retail-specific market pressures', according to court documents.
More than two dozen 'underperforming' stores are marked for closure by September 30. At Home shuttered six locations over the past year, and its situation has only gotten worse.
'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,' state the documents.
The company, based in Coppell, Texas, cited concerns over custom costs from the Trump administration's tariffs, and 'persistent inflation', as reasons that led it to file for bankruptcy.
Here are all the At Homes locations closing, according to the court documents.
California: 750 Newhall Drive in San Jose
2505 El Camino Real in Tustin
2200 Harbor Boulevard in Costa Mesa
3795 E Foothills Boulevard
1982 E 20th Street in Chico
26532 Towne Center Drive Suites A-B in Foothill Ranch
8320 Delta Shores Circle South in Sacramento
2900 N Bellflower Boulevard in Long Beach
Florida: 14585 Biscayne Boulevard in North Miami
Illinois: 5203 W War Memorial Drive in Peoria

Minnesota: 2820 Highway 63 South in Rochester
Montana: 905 S 24th Street West in Billings
New Jersey: 1361 NJ-35 in Middletown Township

2530 Rudkin Road in Yakima
Wisconsin: 3201 N Mayfair Road in Wauwatosa
Virginia: 8300 Sudley Road in Manassas
19460 Compass Creek Parkway in Leesburg
Under the bankruptcy process, At Home ownership will be transferred to hedge fund and investment firms in New York City and San Francisco.
At Home CEO Brad Weston stated that the company plans to emerge and 'move forward with new owners and a meaningfully strengthened balance sheet'.
'We are grateful to be moving forward with significant support from our financial stakeholders, which demonstrates their confidence in our business and our future strategy,' stated Weston. More Trending
'As we work through this process, our stores and the teams that support them remain customer focused and committed to serving and inspiring customers, enabling them to Design Their Life AT HOME.'
At Home is the latest American big box retailer to downsize recently.
Its bankruptcy comes after the popular fabrics and crafts retail chain Joann announced it would close 255 stores in May, and the country's largest party supply retail chain Party City shuttered all of its stores in February after 40 years.

G7 leaders say Iran is ‘principal source of instability' in Middle East

G7 leaders have described Iran as 'the principal source of regional instability and terror' as conflict rages in the Middle East. The conflict between Israel and Iran has been top of the agenda at the leaders' summit, taking place in Canada. In a statement agreed at the summit, leaders of the world's major economies, including Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, said they 'affirm that Israel has a right to defend itself'. The statement, agreed before Donald Trump left the conference early on Monday evening, also includes a call for a 'ceasefire in Gaza'. It said: 'We, the leaders of the G7, reiterate our commitment to peace and stability in the Middle East. 'In this context, we affirm that Israel has a right to defend itself. We reiterate our support for the security of Israel. 'We also affirm the importance of the protection of civilians. 'Iran is the principal source of regional instability and terror. 'We have been consistently clear that Iran can never have a nuclear weapon. 'We urge that the resolution of the Iranian crisis leads to a broader de-escalation of hostilities in the Middle East, including a ceasefire in Gaza. 'We will remain vigilant to the implications for international energy markets and stand ready to coordinate, including with like-minded partners, to safeguard market stability.' On Monday, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced on X that Mr Trump would be leaving the summit early, following a dinner with heads of state. 'Much was accomplished, but because of what's going on in the Middle East, President Trump will be leaving tonight after dinner with Heads of State,' she said. Downing Street declined to comment on Mr Trump's early exit. Iran said at least 224 people had been killed in the country since strikes began on Friday, while Israeli officials said 24 people had been killed and more than 500 injured. The back-and-forth between Israel and Iran has raised concerns about all-out war between the rival nations. Earlier on Monday, Mr Trump and Sir Keir finalised a US-UK deal that will slash trade barriers on goods from both countries, but leaves the future of tariffs on British steel up in the air. The Prime Minister said the move marked a 'very important day' for both sides as the US president announced the agreement was 'done' in a joint appearance on the sidelines of the G7 summit in Canada. The deal will grant British carmakers a reprieve by the end of June as levies drop from 25% to 10%, while the aerospace sector will face no import taxes. But tariffs for the steel industry, which is of key economic importance to the UK, will stand at 25% for now rather than falling to zero as originally agreed. This is less than the US global rate of 50% for steel and aluminium. The Prime Minister described the pact as a 'sign of strength' in the transatlantic relationship, while Mr Trump praised Sir Keir as a 'friend' who had done a 'great job' securing the deal that eluded leaders before him. Following the hastily arranged meeting, the two leaders posed for pictures outside the G7 venue with the signed documents, which the US president dropped before Sir Keir picked them up. Mr Trump also mistakenly referred to the pact as a 'trade agreement with the European Union'. The Department for Business and Trade said the two leaders had pledged to 'make progress towards 0% tariffs on core steel products as agreed'. Asked whether Britain would be shielded from future tariffs, Mr Trump said the UK was protected 'because I like them'. 'The UK is very well protected, you know why? Because I like them. That's their ultimate protection,' he said. The PM told the US President: 'Donald, thank you very much… A really important agreement. And so this is a very good day for both of our countries, a real sign of strength.' The terms of the deal were agreed in May, but neither Washington nor London had yet taken the necessary steps to reduce tariffs.

Rachel Reeves' fiscal headache is getting bigger

Photo by Simon Dawson / No 10 Downing Street The more one looks at last week's Spending Review, the more one appreciates the challenges the economy and the government face. Health and defence were the two clear beneficiaries from the review, but even here the numbers do not mean that all of the spending pressures have been addressed. The NHS is going to see real-term increases in its resource budget of 3 per cent, which is much higher than any other department and much higher than economic growth as a whole. It is also lower than the average rate of growth in its budget since its creation of 3.6 per cent and much lower than the last time waiting times were brought down substantially when its budget increased by 5 or 6 per cent a year. If Labour fails to achieve similar progress on waiting times over the course of the parliament, it is in electoral trouble. As for defence, it got the lion's share of additional capital spending. This makes sense given that our stocks have been depleted by supporting the Ukrainians and that technology is only going to play a bigger role as warfare evolves. But last week's announcement increases overall defence expenditure to 2.5 per cent of GDP, when the government has ambitions to reach 3 per cent, NATO is calling for 3.5 per cent and President Trump is demanding 5 per cent. So yes, health and defence are the big winners relative to everyone else but there is every chance that, by the time we get to the next election, there will be strong demands for these areas to get more. It is worth reflecting on what the government had to do to enable it to make the announcements on health and defence that it has. The fiscal rules have been loosened to allow more borrowing, which caused a certain amount of bond market unease at the time of the last Budget and has contributed to us having higher bond yields than most other European economies. Taxes have gone up very substantially, mostly from an increase in employers' National Insurance Contributions. This is making life difficult for many businesses and will, in time, result in lower pay for employees.

Departmental settlements for the end of the Spending Review period are tight and leave no scope for additional demands. Nor is the government generally left with a buffer if matters do not turn out as well as expected. Rachel Reeves gave herself very little fiscal headroom in her autumn Budget or Spring Statement. The Office for Budget Responsibility is a relative optimist when it comes to the growth prospects for the country but if it revises down its productivity assumptions or concludes that President Trump's tariffs or Middle East instability will cause a negative impact on our medium-term growth prospects, Reeves will be on course to breach her 'non-negotiable' fiscal rules. Reeves argues that nothing in the Spending Review requires her to raise taxes. That is true in that she has stuck to the spending envelope that she set out in October. But what were not included in the spending review are higher debt interest bills or the retreat on winter fuel payment cuts, let alone the abolition of the two-child benefit limit There must be a better than even chance that some combination of tax increases or spending cuts will be necessary by the autumn if the fiscal rules are to be met. Given that a Spending Review has only just been completed, tax increases are the most likely response. Last year's tax increases landed badly, this year's – if substantial – will be received even less generously. This gives a sense of the predicament facing the government. Any fair assessment has to acknowledge a very difficult inheritance and some bad luck along the way. When Reeves cleared the way for higher capital investment in her October Budget, she was presumably hoping that she would not need to devote much of it to defence but to improving our economic infrastructure as part of a growth strategy. She would also have hoped that the international trading system would not have been damaged quite so bigly by the new US President. A full-scale war between Israel and Iran disrupting oil supplies would also not have been on her wish list. The government, of course, cannot be seen as a passive figure here. It is pursuing some economically sensible policies – planning reform, rebuilding our relationship with the EU, encouraging technological innovation – and should seek to be bolder on all fronts. It also needs to be careful not to make growth harder in other areas (expanding employment rights, most obviously). If taxes have to go up, it makes sense to prepare the ground but this risks weakening consumer confidence. There is then the question of which taxes to increase where there is usually a direct trade-off between what is the least politically unpopular (wealth taxes, anyone?) and the least economically damaging. The government needs to put the economy first. All of this points to a very difficult autumn Budget in which Reeves will likely have to resist calls from within the Labour Party to spend more on welfare, reassure the bond markets by sticking to her fiscal rules and, therefore, find ways to raise revenue without making the country less competitive. For all the talk of having stabilised the economy, there are still some very tough choices ahead. Related
