If your store is no longer on the website that means it is closing. They removed the storewide sale indication on the stores on the website and removed the stores that are closing all together.

This store directory is missing some locations. Possibly the list of post closing stores? https://www.pier1.com/on/demandware.store/Sites-pier1_us-Site/default/LocalStore?storeId=1671#Connecticut

Glenview, IL store is closing.

New email alert from Arlington, TEXAS Pier One.

40% off everything.

My heart is broken. :/

How do I find what locations have store-wide sale?

Can someone post a link?

For example, I am looking at this and cannot see anything indicating if this lcoation is closing or has a sale:

https://www.pier1.com/on/demandware.store/Sites-pier1_us-Site/default/LocalStore?storeId=0153

If you go to the Pier 1 website and do a store location search you can tell if your store is closing bc it will say store wide sale and you can’t choose that store to order from.

Does anyone know which CA stores are closing?

Salisbury, MD store is holding a store closing sale.

I know the Taunton MA store will be closing. I already know another retailer that has scouted that site, and will be opening their once Pier 1 has closed.

Are all Pier One stores closing in 2020?

An employee of the Falls Township store confirmed it was among the closures. FT is a Suburban Philadelphia township in Bucks County, Pennsylvania....

buckscountycouriertimes.com/news/20200107/pier-1-imports-to-close-450-stores

Falls, Feasterville and King of Prussia locations are running store-wide sales

Does anyone have in information on which distribution centers they plan to close down?

I see that Pier One (ONLINE) has given those customers in Hawaii and Alaska the option to order again from their website. A few weeks ago, they removed the option because they closed those stores.

Maybe someone from corporate is finally READING the comments here and decided to have a HEART for the people outside of the continental USA mainland. Pier One really was the ONLY place for those in Hawaii and Alaska to purchase nice items for the home.

Pier One do NOT leave your loyal customers hanging just because YOU are in a Chapter 13 pickle.

People still want to shop at this store. At the very least give the people of Alaska and Hawaii FREE shipping online, since there is no other way to get items anymore. Thanks to whomever is at corporate for removing the block online to people in Alaska and Hawaii.

Here is the list of relocated and closed stores, most of them got closed in 2018 and 2019. Nobody has a list with 450 stores that will be closing in 2020 but rest assured, they will publish it. The bankruptcy will accelerate the whole thing.

Pier 1 Imports is a great store, they have merchandise that is unique and can't often be found in other stores.

But more important is their excellent Customer Service , which at our Local store is incredible , the Associates and Managers treat their customers like their friends! They go above and beyond to help their customers.

These stores should not be closed, many customers will be very disappointed. It also, will be a huge loss for the retail world.

The 450 to be closed store list is still pending.

Also, bear in mind, distribution centers will be closing.

Here is what was disclosed:

In order to better align its business with the current operating environment, Pier 1 intends to reduce its store footprint by up to 450 locations. To reflect the revised store footprint, the Company also plans to close certain distribution centers and reduce its corporate expenses. This includes a reduction in corporate headcount.

In order to maintain the same high standards customers have come to expect and ensure a seamless experience for customers at these locations, the Company is utilizing the services of a third-party liquidator to help manage the store closings.

This is NOT the current list ...... don't respond, wait for the new list of store closings.

In CT, Avon, Danbury, South Windsor, Bristol, Hamden and Norwalk.

Can’t find the store closing list...help. Are the Birmingham AL and surrounding stores closing?

If you hate stores closing then stop shopping as much online...

make an effort to give your local store the business! Try it everyone......who knows.....the power of human only can change the world you maybe be not a fan of.

I do a lot of Christmas shopping at Pier 1. LOVE their decorations and other things (too many to name). It’s sad that brick and mortar stores are closing. Shopping online is ok, but there is nothing like a shopping expedition!!!!! Hope the NC stores stay open, but I have my doubts. I’m bummed.

Pier 1 was my first job and I loved the company. I know it's challenging for everyone and you are in my prayers.

Pier One may have been the place to go years ago but recently they are over priced compared to similar and/or higher quality items found at World Market Cost Plus and Homegoods.

PIER ONE is about to file for BANKRUPTCY.

Just announced on CNN and CNBC...... WOW!!!!!!

"Filing for bankruptcy is an option under consideration if Pier 1 falls short of its goals, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the process isn’t public yet."

All the stores in my area used to be packed and had tons of nice things. This is surreal.

Just announced, up to 450 stores closing

It looks like 19 in the New England area are on the chopping block. All store wide sales stores will be closed. The sales goals given to these stores are up to 3x higher than last years sales.

The rochester mn store is NOT closing

Worked in New England area store for 8 years. They hire GED education level managers that boss the smarter floor workers around like slaves. I am recently retired from a career in Education. I worked the "closing" shift after school for extra income. I mopped floors and cleaned customer toilets, and I can tell you that the arrogance of these so-called managers is their downfall.

Former Pier 1 employee here! Worked 16 years at two stores in the province of Quebec. The company exited Québec in August 2018 because of the cost of maintaining the French language Requirements to do business in the province. I currently make my way to either the South Burlington Vermont store or one of the 5 (now 4) Ottawa stores all about two hours away.
Pier 1 is a wonderful company I loved it a lot and i miss it. They will get through this hard time like they have before in 2006-2008 and keep offering us the best there is.
