Big Changes at American Freight: Closures and Sales Across South Carolina as Bankruptcy Hits
Attention shoppers! If you’ve been eyeing that fresh living room set or a brand-new appliance, we’ve got some bittersweet news for you. American Freight, a beloved destination for furniture and appliances, has announced that they will soon be closing their doors across the United States, affecting ALL of their 10 locations right here in South Carolina.
American Freight is winding down operations as their parent company, Hilco Consumer-Retail, recently declared they would close all 328 stores that operate under the American Freight name. This includes the popular store located on Atlas Road in Columbia and nine additional locations throughout the state—including cities like Greenville, North Charleston, Rock Hill, and Myrtle Beach.
What led to this drastic decision? Well, the company has been navigating some tough waters lately. In their Chapter 11 bankruptcy filings in federal court in Delaware, officials cited inflation and various macroeconomic challenges as driving factors behind their closure plans.
But don’t fret just yet! While the closures are indeed sad, the good news is the company is kicking off major sales at each location! That’s right, folks! American Freight is offering browsing enthusiasts up to 30% off their lowest ticketed prices throughout the entire store. This includes everything from gorgeous living room sets and cozy bedroom furniture to stylish dining tables and appliances that just need a bit of love (think scratch & dent and new in-box items!).
Need a new fridge? Perhaps a washer or dryer? Now’s the perfect time to snag those items at a fantastic price. What’s more, during the sale, American Freight assures customers that new inventory will still be arriving—so there’s no need to worry if your favorites might already be sold out.
With the pressure of closing sales looming, it’s best to act fast! CEO of Hilco Consumer-Retail, Ian Fredericks said, “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.”
So whether you’re sprucing up your home, moving into a new place, or just feel like treating yourself, now is the time to hop on over to American Freight! Check out the locations near you:
While it’s always sad to see a beloved retailer say goodbye, this presents an incredible opportunity for savvy shoppers to snag a deal while they last!
