Big changes for a big-box home store
At Home, the large furniture and home décor retailer known for selling everything from rugs and lamps to patio sets and holiday decorations, is going through tough times. After filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in June 2025, the company announced it would close 29 stores across the United States. Florida shoppers will feel the impact too, as one Miami location is on the closure list.
The Miami store that’s shutting its doors
If you’re an At Home shopper in South Florida, here’s the news you need: the location at 14585 Biscayne Boulevard in North Miami will officially close its doors by September 30, 2025—or sooner if merchandise runs out. That means Miami residents only have a short window to shop final sales before this store is gone for good.
What’s happening inside closing stores?
Walking into a closing At Home store feels very different from a regular shopping trip. Instead of cheerful signs about seasonal décor and home inspiration, customers are met with messages like “All sales are final” and “No returns accepted.”
Everything must go—including furniture, decorations, and even the store fixtures. Shoppers can expect discounts of up to 30% on merchandise until inventory is gone. But be careful: gift cards, loyalty rewards, and credit perks won’t be accepted at closing stores.
Why is At Home closing stores?
So, why is a retailer with more than 200 stores suddenly shrinking? The company blames a mix of tough financial conditions:
- High interest rates are making it harder for people to buy homes, and therefore, there is less demand for new furniture.
- Inflation is driving up costs on everything from imports to everyday operations.
- Competition from discount retailers and online giants offering lower prices.
- Tariffs and supply chain issues have made it both challenging and expensive to keep stores stocked.
Essentially, fewer people are redecorating, and those who do often opt for more affordable options.
What about the rest of the company?
It’s not all doom and gloom for At Home. While 29 stores are closing, the company still plans to operate about 200 locations across the country. Stores that aren’t closing will continue operating normally, showing no signs of bankruptcy.
The company is also trying to bounce back financially. A restructuring deal will erase nearly $2 billion in debt and inject $200 million of fresh capital to help At Home survive. New CEO Brad Weston says the brand is focused on improving efficiency, cutting costs, and offering better value to customers.
Miami shoppers: what should you do?
If North Miami is your go-to store, you’ll want to shop sooner rather than later. Here are a few tips:
- Look for deals early. Discounts start at up to 30%, but items may sell fast.
- Don’t wait too long. Once inventory is gone, the doors will close for the last time.
- Remember the rules. No returns, no gift cards, and no reward points.
- Check other locations. At Home still has stores across Florida that will remain open for business.
The bigger picture
The closing of one store might not sound huge, but for Miami, it’s a reminder of how much the retail world is changing. With online shopping booming and customers watching their wallets, even big stores like At Home are finding it tough to keep every location open.
For now, if you’ve been eyeing a new couch, rug, or patio chair from At Home in North Miami, this is your last chance. After September 30, you’ll have to head to another Florida store—or shop online—to get your home décor fix.
