News Summary
Despite filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, the At Home store in Shreveport will stay open as part of a national restructuring plan. The company is closing 20 stores but has secured funding to maintain operations. The future of the Shreveport location is uncertain, contingent on improving profitability in a challenging retail environment. As similar retailers close locations, At Home’s success will depend on navigating current economic pressures.
Shreveport is set to keep its At Home store open despite the company’s recent announcement that it has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The Dallas-based home decor chain filed for bankruptcy protection on June 16, 2025, as part of a strategy to restructure its operations and seek a path back to profitability under court supervision.
As part of this restructuring effort, At Home has decided to close 20 of its 260 locations nationwide, but the Shreveport store, located at 1376 East 70th St., is not on the closure list. Nevertheless, the future of the Shreveport location remains in flux, contingent on its ability to achieve profitability amidst broader challenges facing the retail sector.
At Home’s struggles stem from several economic factors, including high tariffs, rising costs of goods, and decreased consumer spending, which have collectively placed significant pressure on numerous retailers across the country. In addition to At Home, several major retailers, such as Burlington Coat Factory, Joann’s Fabric, and Big Lots, have recently closed their doors in Shreveport, highlighting the tough landscape for businesses in the area.
Despite these challenges, At Home operates over 250 stores throughout 40 states, with four locations in Louisiana alone. To navigate its financial difficulties, the company has engaged an advisory group and investment bank to craft a roadmap for its future. Furthermore, At Home has successfully entered into an agreement with its lenders to reduce most of its $2 billion debt while securing $200 million in new funding, which will aid in maintaining operations during the bankruptcy process.
While the Shreveport At Home store will remain open for now, industry analysts suggest that its ability to stay in business is closely tied to its performance in the current economic environment. If the store cannot convert its operations into a profitable model, it may face closure in the future.
The retail landscape has changed drastically in recent years, and many businesses are grappling with the same headwinds that have led to At Home’s current predicament. Rising costs and a decline in consumer spending remain persistent issues that may force closures across the retail sector, indicating that the road ahead could still be rocky.
In conclusion, shoppers in Shreveport can continue to visit At Home for their home decor needs, but the store’s long-term viability hangs in the balance, contingent on broader economic recovery and the company’s strategic restructuring efforts.
