At Home to close Ypsilanti store by fall. What to know

• Retailer At Home is closing locations in several states following its June bankruptcy filing.
• A new announcement includes closing a store in Ypsilanti, Michigan.
• The Michigan location is set to shutter by Sept. 30, 2025.

Michigan will lose an At Home store as the retailer expands the number of locations it’s closing in bankruptcy.

The home goods retail chain filed for bankruptcy in June because of high debt and dwindling sales, USA TODAY reported. Following the filing, the company announced it would close 26 stores across several states by Sept. 30, later narrowing it to 24 as At Home said two of the stores would stay open.

Six more At Home stores are now set to close by Sept. 30, bringing the total to 30, according to an Aug. 1 announcement by retail firm Hilco Consumer-Retail.

The latest announcement includes a southeast Michigan location, the At Home store in Ypsilanti now holding liquidation sales as it prepares to close by the fall deadline.

The bankruptcy filing and store closures follow several other “big box” retailers that also significantly downsized their brick-and-mortar footprints in Michigan this year, including Joann Fabrics, JCPenney, Macy’s, and Party City, while Kohl’s avoided closures and Big Lots reopened stores.

Here’s what to know about the closures.

Why did At Home file for bankruptcy?

Court documents said that rising interest rates, “persistent inflation,” and a growing concern over unsustainable customs costs resulting from increased tariffs led At Home to file for bankruptcy. As a result, At Home has already closed six stores over the past year.

“Given the expenses associated with brick-and-mortar operation and the issues affecting the retail industry, a number of the (At Home) remaining stores are operating at sub-optimal performance levels,” court documents revealed.

As part of the bankruptcy filing, ownership of At Home will be transferred to a group of hedge funds and investment firms based in New York City and San Francisco, as outlined in a news release.
