In a strategic move amid shifting retail dynamics, home goods retailer At Home has announced plans to close 26 of its stores across the United States by September 30, 2025. The company stated that the closures are part of a broader initiative to optimize its store footprint and improve operational efficiency.
“We continuously evaluate the performance of our stores and have made the difficult decision to close a small portion of locations that are underperforming,” an At Home spokesperson said in a statement. “This will allow us to refocus our resources on locations where we see greater potential for growth and customer engagement.”
The closures are expected to affect stores identified as consistently underperforming in terms of sales and profitability. The company has not released the full list of affected locations but indicated that efforts will be made to assist employees impacted by the shutdowns, including possible transfers to other stores or support in job placement services.
At Home, which specializes in home décor, furniture, and seasonal items, has faced increasing competition from both brick-and-mortar and e-commerce retailers. The company has been working to streamline operations and strengthen its online presence as part of its long-term growth strategy.
Despite the closures, At Home emphasized its commitment to the remaining network of over 250 stores nationwide and its goal to continue enhancing the in-store and digital customer experience.
Customers of affected stores will be notified of closing dates, and liquidation sales are expected to commence in the coming weeks. The company has urged patrons to visit its website for updates and to locate the nearest operating stores.
The announcement places At Home among a growing number of retailers adjusting their physical footprints in response to evolving consumer habits and economic conditions.
