At Home closing more stores after bankruptcy filing. See the updated list.
The furniture and home decor retailer based in Coppell, Texas, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on June 16, pointing to "broader economic and retail-specific market pressures," in court documents. The bankruptcy filing and store closures follow several other "big box" retailers that have also significantly downsized their brick-and-mortar footprints this year, including Big Lots, Joann Fabrics, Kohl's, JCPenney, Macy's, and Party City.
The retailer intially announced 26 store closures in June, before paring that down to 24 when it decided to keep open two stores in New Jersey and Wisconsin. The company added another six stores to the list, according to a statement by retail firm Hilco Consumer-Retail on Aug. 1, bringing the current number of stores it will shutter in the coming months to 30.
The company employed about 7,170 employees when it filed for bankruptcy protection.
Which At Home stores are closing?
The following stores will close by Sept. 30 of this year, according to Hilco Consumer-Retail, which was retained to manage At Home's store closings:
The following six stores joined the list in August, and are hosting liquidation sales.
Which At Home locations are staying open?
The following stores in New Jersey and Wisconsin, which were initially slated for closure, will now remain open:
Why did At Home file for bankruptcy?
Court documents said that rising interest rates, "persistent inflation," and a growing concern over unsustainable customs costs resulting from increased tariffs led At Home to file for bankruptcy. As a result, At Home has already closed six stores over the past year.
"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," court documents revealed.
As part of the bankruptcy filing, ownership of At Home will be transferred to a group of hedge funds and investment firms based in New York City and San Francisco, as outlined in a news release.

Walmart Deals of the Day: Grab Apple's Top Earbuds While They're $80 Off
You don't have to wait until the next major sale to start saving. Walmart offers thousands of deals year-round, but they rotate constantly so you'll have to act fast if you don't want to miss out on a specific offer. To help you take advantage of some of today's best bargains, we've rounded up some top picks below. For Tuesday, August 5, that includes an $80 discount on the second-gen AirPods Pro, $100 off a top-rated Anker robot vacuum and 38% off a 40V Greenworks electric lawn mower. These excellent Apple earbuds have had a top spot on our list of the overall best headphones since they first hit shelves in 2022. In his original review, CNET's audio expert David Carnoy called them the "best lightweight earbuds you can buy" thanks to their great sound, top-notch noise-canceling capabilities and convenient features for iPhone users. You can often find them on sale for around $200, but it's pretty rare to see them at this price. Note that Walmart has them listed for $10 less than the actual price, so this deal actually saves you $80. The Eufy 25C is already our favorite affordable robot vacuum of 2025, and this $100 discount makes this deal hard to beat. It lacks the more efficient high-tech laser navigation found on pricier models, but performed well on both hardwood floors and carpets in our tests. It boasts 1,500Pa of suction power, a 100-minute runtime and a 0.6-liter dustbin. It's also compatible with both Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant for hands-free voice control. If you're only after the basics, this a great bargain. Greenworks makes some of the best electric lawnmowers on the market, and this 40V model is great for most yards. It has a simple push button start, a 21-inch cutting path and seven different height settings. It also comes with a 5.0 mAh battery with a 45-minute runtime, and it fully recharges in about 150 minutes. Plus, the handle folds down and you can store it vertically to help save space in your garage or shed.

Shein and Temu outpace global retail giants in South Africa's fashion market
By Siyanda Mthethwa JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) -China-founded e-commerce retailers Shein and Temu have captured a combined 3.6% share of South Africa's retail, clothing, textile, footwear and leather (CTFL) market, accounting for 7.3 billion rand ($405 million) in sales in 2024, a report showed on Tuesday. Shein entered the market in 2020, followed by Temu in 2024. Both have disrupted the local retail landscape through aggressive pricing, strategic marketing, and using tax loopholes that initially gave them a competitive edge over local retailers. Their appeal to price-sensitive consumers has impacted local retailers, who urged regulators last year to close the tax loophole, which eventually ended last year. The Localisation Support Fund (LSF) report found that domestic retailers' market share of CTFL declined from 75.3% in 2011 to 74% in 2024. Meanwhile, international brick-and-mortar brands like H&M, Zara, and Cotton On hold a combined 3.4% share. Shein and Temu now command a combined 3.6% share of the CTFL market, and 37.1% of South Africa's e-commerce CTFL market, with Shein alone accounting for 28% of online ladies' CTFL sales. "Those (international)retailers have acquired this market share over a period of 13 years, and Shein and Temu have managed to match and surpass this in just a five-year period," said Sean Mercer, principal consultant at consulting firm BMA.

Amazon Deals of the Day: Get Your Back-to-School Schedule on Track for a Record Low
Amazon sells a vast array of products, with new ones arriving daily across many categories, including home essentials, tech and furniture. Lucky for us, the retail giant loves cutting prices as much as it loves adding new products. However, deciding which offers are worth grabbing (and which aren't) is a full-time job, but we've done the heavy lifting, hand-picking the top markdowns from the bunch. Today, we spotted the Skylight Calendar Max down to a new record low price, perfect for the back-to-school season. We also found a nice $100 discount on the Google Pixel 9A. Finally, we spotted Renpho's smart scale at over 40% off. With the back-to-school season quickly approaching, our lives are starting to get super busy again. Keeping track of everything going on in life can be quite overwhelming, especially with multiple kids. Having a smart calendar can make a huge difference. One that we love is the Skylight Calendar Max. The Skylight Calendar helps you keep track of your appointments, chores, meetings and more. You can color-code events either by type or by person so it's easy to follow. You can also add in things like weather and dinner plans to help plan your day. You can even keep track of meal plans. Plus with the Skylight app, you can easily check on things on your phone. Speaking of apps, it connects to your Google or Apple calendar for easy syncing. A device this handy certainly doesn't come cheap. It retails for a whopping $620. But for a limited time you can score one for $570. It's still pricey but it's a new record low. A lot of us are probably upgrading our phones for the new back-to-school season. But a recent survey we conducted found that 78% of back-to-school shoppers are worried about affording tech purchases. If you're among this group, you'll be happy to hear the already-affordable Google Pixel 9A is now down to a record low price. The 9A has a substantial battery life and uses the same Tensor G4 chipset as the rest of the Pixel 9 series. This phone also allows you to take advantage of Gemini AI features. It also has a gorgeous display with a 6.3-inch OLED screen and 2,700 nits of brightness. Plus it comes with 128 GB of storage. This phone is more affordable than the rest of the Pixel 9 series with a starting price of $499. But today, you can get $100 off this price bringing it down to $399. Plus this price is valid for all the color options, so you can pick your favorite. If you're someone who really prioritizes health and fitness, I'll probably find some sort of scale in your bathroom. I love using a smart scale since it can tell you more important metrics than just your weight. This scale from Renpho is a great choice as it's super simple an easy to use. It uses four sensors to give you an accurate reading in precise 0.2lb increments. It can also tell you your body fat percentage, muscle mass, body water, metabolic age and more. The data is stored on your phone so you can easily monitor progress. This smart scale is pretty affordable with a list price of $35. But thanks to this 43% discount, you'll pay just $20. Although it's not the record low price, it's only $2 more. That makes this a pretty fantastic deal. With so many deals on Amazon, deciding which ones are worth your money can be difficult. But CNET has combed through what the world's largest online retailer has to offer, and we've gathered the best deals for you to check out.
