MJP –
A massive retailer is now closing 33 locations in Florida after the company announced that it would shutter all 328 stores across the U.S.
American Freight, a nationwide retailer specializing in furniture and appliances, has announced the closure of all 328 of its stores across the United States, with Florida experiencing the highest number of shutdowns.
Specifically, a total of 33 locations in Florida will close as the company initiates store-closing sales throughout the country.
This move highlights the ongoing difficulties many retailers are facing in the current economic climate.
Sales have already started, managed by Hilco Consumer-Retail, offering substantial discounts on American Freight’s inventory.
Customers in Florida and other areas can enjoy markdowns of up to 30% off the lowest prices on various items, including living room and bedroom furniture, dining sets, scratch-and-dent products, and new appliances.
There is expected to be high demand for these bargains, and new inventory will continue to arrive as items sell out quickly.
Hilco CEO Ian Fredericks stated that American Freight aims to deliver exceptional value, particularly through scratch-and-dent items, during these final sales. Franchise Group, Inc., the parent company of American Freight, cited ongoing inflation and economic challenges, especially in the durable goods sector, as key reasons for the closures.
