Big Changes in San Antonio: American Freight Closes All Locations Amid Store Closing Sales

Big Changes in San Antonio: American Freight Closes Its Doors

San Antonio is buzzing with news that might feel a bit bittersweet for many furniture shoppers. The beloved chain, American Freight, is shutting down all its 328 locations across the United States. That’s a significant loss, and yes, it includes all three stores right here in town. This decision isn’t just a whim; it has roots in what the parent company, Franchise Group, Inc., describes as “sustained inflation and macroeconomic challenges.”

Store Closings Begin and Sales Ignite

The closure news broke alongside a flurry of excitement: American Freight’s store closing sales kicked off on November 5. With the assistance of Hilco Consumer-Retail, customers are now faced with a golden opportunity to snag some amazing deals. If you were in the market for new furniture, kitchen appliances, or even a bedroom set, now’s your chance!

According to reports, shoppers can expect discounts of up to 30 percent off the lowest ticketed prices for in-store and online purchases. This sale includes everything from living room sofas and dining tables to scratch & dent items and new-in-box appliances like refrigerators, washers, and dryers. So, you can get that new couch while also snagging a great deal on a new washing machine. It’s a win-win!

Why You Shouldn’t Wait!

As if the savings weren’t enough to get you excited, it’s worth noting that new inventory is still arriving, and it’s likely to fly off the shelves! Ian Fredericks, the CEO of Hilco Consumer-Retail, emphasizes, “Our goal is to deliver outstanding value to customers during this full chain closing sale. Everything is on sale and must be sold. We recommend shopping early for the best selection.” That means if you see something you like, don’t hesitate because it could be gone tomorrow!

During this time, American Freight is also offering select financing and delivery services, making it easier for customers to enjoy these fantastic discounts. Just remember: all sales are final. So, if you come across that perfect piece for your home, it might be a good idea to grab it!
