A beloved home decor retailer and competitor to Hobby Lobby, At Home, has confirmed the closure of its Montgomery, Alabama location at Eastdale Mall. Shoppers are being urged to make their final purchases as liquidation sales begin ahead of the store’s permanent closure by the end of 2024.
The Montgomery store, which first opened its doors in 2017, occupies the former Sears location that closed following the bankruptcy filing of Sears’ parent company. Although the exact date for the final day of operation has not been confirmed, WACA 8 reports that the shutdown will occur before the year ends.
Impact on Local Shoppers
With the closure of the Eastdale Mall location, At Home customers in Montgomery will need to travel to nearby stores in Hoover, Mobile, or Trussville to find their favorite home goods. The store closure leaves a gap in the local shopping scene, especially for customers looking for affordable and stylish home decor.
While no official reason has been given for the closure, liquidation sales are expected to take place soon. These sales provide an opportunity for customers to snag discounted items before the store shuts its doors for good.
