Value City and American Signature Furniture are closing all stores in 2026. See the full list of doomed locations

After seeking Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in November 2025, Ohio-based retail chain American Signature Inc. (ASI) now says it will close all of its Value City Furniture and American Signature Furniture stores.

Here’s what you need to know about the first major home retail store closings of the year, and why some of the chain’s customers need to beware.

What’s happened?

As Fast Company previously reported, home furnishings retailer American Signature Inc. announced in November that it had filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. The Ohio-based company was founded 78 years ago in 1948 and grew to become one of the country’s largest regional home furnishings chains.

Its two retail furnishing brands are Value City Furniture and American Signature Furniture.

The company saw rapid growth during the COVID-19 years, as more people stayed home, thus spurring the desire for in-home upgrades.

But in the years since the pandemic, Value City Furniture and American Signature Furniture have seen their fortunes decline.

When ASI filed for bankruptcy in November, the company cited several factors, including rising interest rates, inflation, and President The President’s tariffs, which have hit furniture makers hard.

All this was exacerbated by “one of the most severe housing market declines in recent history,” the company noted at the time.

How many stores are closing?

At the time of its November bankruptcy filing, ASI said the company had a combined 120 Value City Furniture and American Signature Furniture stores across 17 states.

It immediately started closing some of those stores across 11 states, while ASI’s strategic advisor, C Street Advisory Group, noted at the time that its future store footprint would ultimately “be determined by the outcome of the sale process.”

Unfortunately for the store’s customers and employees, American Signature Inc. did not find a buyer willing to keep the chains open.

As a result, all remaining Value City Furniture and American Signature Furniture stores have now begun going-out-of-business sales, which will see all locations permanently close.

In a press release announcing the closure of all stores, the company’s liquidators, Gordon Brothers, and advisors, which include Hilco Global and SB360 Capital Partners, said that all of American Signature Inc.’s 89 remaining stores will shutter.

Customers should beware

When a retail chain holds going-out-of-business sales, customers are normally advised that all sales are final and that no returns will be accepted.

That is the case here, too. 

But Value City Furniture and American Signature Furniture customers who had previously placed deposits on items and not yet received them should take special note.

On an FAQ section posted on the company’s website, the chain says that if a customer had previously placed a deposit on an order they have not yet received, the company will do its “best to fulfill customer orders for products that are currently in stock.”

However, these order fulfillments are not guaranteed.

And if an order that a customer placed a deposit on cannot be fulfilled, the company notes that “We are not offering refunds at the time.”

Instead, customers will have to file a claim to apply for a refund on their deposit. However, this claim may not be granted as bankruptcy procedures dictate that the company’s creditors must be paid back first, with any remaining funds the company has. Customers owed money are the last in line.

Full list of closing Value City Furniture and American Signature Furniture stores

ASI has a list of all its remaining stores that are currently running going-out-of-business sales before they shutter for good. 

However, it should be noticed that this list, generated by the company’s store locator tool, currently lists 94 locations as having going-out-of-business sales. This is five more stores than the 89 remaining stores the company cited in its press release.

Before you make the trip to any closing store, it’s best to contact the store directly to see whether it is still open.

According ot the company’s store location tool, below are the remaining American Signature Inc. stores, which will close once their going-out-of-business sales are complete:
