COLUMBIA, S.C. — American Freight Closing Its Doors for Good!
If you reside in South Carolina, you’ve probably heard the news: American Freight, the popular appliance and furniture store, is shutting down all its shops across the nation, including the ten locations right here in our state! This announcement has likely left many shoppers reeling, but there’s a silver lining: Massive sales are on the horizon!
What’s Happening?
Recently, Hilco Consumer-Retail, the parent company of American Freight, announced that they would be closing all 328 stores in the United States. That includes our local spots, like the one on Atlas Road in Columbia and others scattered across cities such as Greenville, North Charleston, Rock Hill, and Myrtle Beach. Unfortunately, the writing had been on the wall; the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in federal court in Delaware, citing inflation and various macroeconomic challenges as key reasons for their closure.
Time for a Sale!
But let’s focus on the *bright side*! With the impending closure, American Freight is kicking off some huge sales, and they’re not holding back! According to the company, shoppers can enjoy savings of up to 30% off the lowest ticketed prices in-store. That’s right, it’s the ideal time to snag a new sofa, dining set, or even those scratch & dent appliances you’ve had your eye on!
At the sales, you’ll find a plethora of items available, including:
- Living room sets that can transform your space.
- Bedroom furniture to create a serene sanctuary.
- Dining tables that are perfect for family gatherings.
- A selection of scratch & dent and new in-box appliances, such as refrigerators and washers and dryers.
New Inventory Coming In!
Worried that the shelves will be bare? Don’t be! American Freight has promised that despite the sales, new inventory will continue to arrive, keeping the selection fresh and exciting during this winding-down phase. So whether you’re a homeowner in need of major upgrades or just looking for a small addition to your decor, this is your chance!
Shop Smart!
As Hilco Consumer-Retail CEO Ian Fredericks put it, “Our goal is to deliver outstanding value to customers during this full chain closing sale. Everything is on sale and must be sold, and we recommend shopping early for the best selection.” This is not just another ordinary sale; it’s your last chance to grab great deals from a beloved local store!
