The Dillard’s in Murfreesboro will be closing by the end of January, according to a letter from a company official to Mayor Shane McFarland.
The letter states the closure will most likely be permanent.
Christmas shoppers in Murfreesboro will get their final chance to purchase presents in person and shop at their leisure ahead of the store’s final closure, set potentially for mid to late January.
“The purpose of this letter is to inform you that the Dillard’s store located in Stones River Mall (now called Stones River Town Centre), 1120 Old Fort Parkway, Murfreesboro, TN 37129, will cease its operation and be closed in its entirety on a date no earlier than Jan. 17, 2025, and no later than January 31, 2025,” states a Nov. 13 letter to the mayor from Dean L. Worley, vice president, secretary and general counsel for Dillard’s Inc.
“We anticipate that the closing will be permanent.”
The letter does not state a reason for the store’s closure.
Dillard’s has 75 employee positions at the Murfreesboro location, and none of them are represented by a union, according to the letter.
