Furniture retailer closing all stores, including 2 locations in Central New York

A national furniture retailer is closing all of its stores, including two locations in Central New York.
American Freight Furniture and Mattress, a discount furniture and mattress chain, has commenced store closing sales at all of its 328 locations and online, Hilco Consumer-Retail announced last week. The company has six stores in New York state, including shops in Clay (4124 NYS 31) and Syracuse (2410 Erie Blvd East).
“GOING OUT OF BUSINESS,” American Freight’s Syracuse location said Monday on Facebook. “Everything must go–All our retail locations across the country are closing! Now’s your chance to grab furniture, appliances, and more at up to 30% OFF the lowest ticketed price. Don’t miss out on these incredible savings before they’re gone for good.”
A new Facebook post Thursday said some merchandise is now being discounted up to 40% off.
Hilco Consumer-Retail, which is managing American Freight’s liquidation process, said stores are offering discounts on the lowest ticketed prices on all products. Select financing and delivery services will remain available, the company said.
All sales are final, while supplies last.
“Our goal is to deliver outstanding value to customers during this full chain closing sale,” said Ian Fredericks, CEO of Hilco Consumer-Retail. “Everything is on sale and must be sold, and we recommend shopping early for the best selection.”
According to USA Today, the closures are part of Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings by American Freight’s parent company, the Ohio-based Franchise Group. The company’s other holdings, including The Vitamin Shoppe and Buddy’s Home Furnishings, will remain open.
Franchise Group said American Freight, which has locations in 41 states, was shutting down due to “sustained inflation and macroeconomic challenges facing the large durable goods sector.” The brand offered living room sets, bedroom furniture, dining tables, and a selection of scratch & dent and new in-box appliances, such as refrigerators, washers and dryers.
