Background on the Closures
In November 2025, American Signature Inc., the parent company of Value City Furniture, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.

Despite initial plans to reorganize and seek a buyer, the company announced the closure of all remaining stores after no qualifying bids were received. The liquidation process is being managed by SB360 Capital Partners, Hilco Global, and Gordon Brothers, with the goal of completing sales by spring 2026.

The store closures are expected to affect numerous employees across the affected locations. Customers with existing orders or warranties are advised to contact the company directly for information on fulfillment and service. Gift cards will not be accepted at stores currently holding liquidation sales, and all sales are expected to be final. The company has ceased selling new extended warranties on purchases.
