A national furniture store chain is closing all 15 of its location in Michigan, with liquidation sales underway.

American Freight will close all 328 of its stores and shut down its online store after its parent company, Franchise Group Inc., filed for bankruptcy.

The company said the decision was made because the chain has “struggled due to sustained inflation and macroeconomic challenges facing the large durable goods sector.”

Liquidation sales are already underway at all stores. Shoppers can save up to 30% off the lowest ticketed prices storewide. Available items include living room sets, bedroom furniture, dining tables, and a selection of scratch & dent and new in-box appliances, such as refrigerators, washers and dryers.

During the store closing sales, select American Freight financing and delivery services will remain available to customers.

American Freight was founded in 1994, and was combined with former Sears Surplus and Sears Outlet stores in 2020. The chain employs around 2,000 people, as of 2022.
