These Large Retailers Are Closing Stores (and Will Have Liquidation Sales)

Seeing your favorite store close is always a blow, and the current economic uncertainty we are facing is seeing many of our favorite companies close some locations, tighten their belts, and brace for what’s to come. Many have already filed for bankruptcy; the silver-lining for us, though, are the liquidation sales that come with it.

The following are some businesses that are closing some doors and others that will be closing completely. Most of these will have official liquidation sale dates, but some you will have to call your local store to get specific details.

Tuesday Morning

The discount home goods retailer will be closing all of its remaining 222 stores sometime around June after they filed for bankruptcy earlier this year and closed 265 stores. They announced their decision on April 29 via Facebook. You can find all of their closing locations here.

Foot Locker

The shoe and clothing store will be closing 420 of their 1,300 mall stores in the United States by 2026. A report from Retail Dive says “200 locations in C and D malls and 200 underperforming stores in A and B malls.” To know if one of these 420 locations is your local store, give them a call and ask. You can find all the Foot Locker locations and their phone numbers here.

Bed Bath & Beyond

Probably the most well-known store closing at the moment is Bed Bath & Beyond. All remaining 360 stores are in the process of closing after filing for bankruptcy. All of their locations are holding liquidation sales until their June 30 date to permanently close. You can find their locations here.
