Another big-box store is closing in Sacramento. Here’s what shoppers need to know

Another big-box store is shutting its doors in Sacramento — the latest in a wave of closures hitting national retail chains.

At Home, a Texas-based home décor and furniture chain known for its sprawling aisles of rugs, lamps and holiday decorations, is closing its only Sacramento store as part of a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing.

Here’s what to know — including when it’s shutting down, what to expect in-store, and what to do if you’ve got a return or gift card.

What is At Home?

At Home is a home décor and furniture chain that sells everything from artificial plants to wall art and throw pillows. The large, warehouse-style stores put a focus on affordable, ready-to-take-home items.

The company was founded in the 1970s as Garden Ridge Pottery before rebranding as At Home.

The Texas-based company operates more than 200 stores nationwide.

At Home’s Sacramento location opened in 2018 at the Delta Shores shopping center and has been the only At Home store in the region.

Where is it closing?

At Home is closing its store at 8320 Delta Shores Circle South in Sacramento, the company said.

It’s one of 26 stores nationwide that are shutting their doors.

In total, six California locations are closing, including stores in San Jose, Chico, Pasadena, Tustin, Costa Mesa and Foothill Ranch.

When will Delta Shores Circle location shut its doors?

At Home hasn’t shared an exact closing date for its store in the Delta Shores shopping center.

Various media outlets, including CBS, have reported the location’s last day of business will likely arrive before the end of September.

Will there be liquidation deals?

Yes. Markdowns are likely as the company clears out merchandise, based on how these closures typically unfold.

Sales often move quickly in bankruptcy cases — so if you’re bargain-hunting, don’t wait too long.

Why did At Home file for bankruptcy?

According to its bankruptcy filing, At Home is facing $2 billion in debt, slowing demand for home goods, and ongoing inflation and trade pressures.

The company missed a major interest payment in May and is now restructuring, turning control over to its lenders.

In a public statement, At Home CEO Brad Weston blamed “continued volatility” and said the closures would “increase the resilience of our business for the long term.”

Have a gift card or return? Here’s what to do

According to At Home’s website, gift cards are still being accepted — for now. Use them as soon as possible, before any policy changes.

Returns are also being honored, but that could change. Check your receipt or At Home’s website for the latest.

What other California stores is At Home closing?

At Home is shutting down a total of eight California stores as part of its bankruptcy restructuring. These include:

• 750 Newhall Drive, San Jose

• 2505 El Camino Real, Tustin

• 2200 Harbor Blvd., Costa Mesa

• 3795 East Foothills Blvd., Pasadena

• 1982 East 20th St., Chico

• 26532 Towne Center Drive, Foothill Ranch

• 2900 North Bellflower Blvd., Long Beach

• 8320 Delta Shores Circle South, Sacramento

Is this a sign of more retail trouble ahead?

Possibly.

At Home joins The Container Store, Big Lots and other national home goods chains that have filed for bankruptcy or closed locations in the past year.

Analysts say rising costs, online competition and tighter consumer budgets are reshaping the retail landscape.

What’s next for Delta Shores shopping mall?

As of Tuesday, June 17, no new tenant had been announced for the massive retail space At Home will leave behind.

However, the Delta Shores shopping center has seen steady growth, adding restaurants, movie theaters and national retailers in recent years.
