Another retailer bites the dust!

On Thursday, Judge Edward L. Morris of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas approved the sale of the retailer known as Tuesday Morning to a liquidation company.

As a result, over two thousand employees will lose their jobs, and all stores will be closed over the coming weeks.

Let's take a quick look at what happened and the Tuesday Morning stores in Kansas closing.

Tuesday Troubles

Tuesday Morning is a household merchandise discount store popular with shoppers looking for prices below department stores.

At its peak in 2018, the company operated over 700 locations and had sales of over $1 billion. Sadly the news hasn't been as good in the last few years. Last November, the "company announced that same-store sales were down 10.4 percent compared with the same fiscal quarter last year, and net sales dropped to $157.1 million this quarter, down from $176.9 million a year prior."

Then, in February, it filed for bankruptcy for the second time in three years. At the time of the filing, it announced it would close over half of its stores but still keep 200 stores open.

However, with the latest news, every Tuesday Morning store will close, and a going-out-of-business sale will commence soon. This means the four stores in Kansas listed below will be closing

.List of Tuesday Morning stores in Kansas that will soon close.

  • Hen House Marketplace, 14950 W 87th Street, Lenexa, KS 66215
  • Mission Mart Shopping Center, 5320 Martway Street, Mission, KS 66205
  • Stanley Square, 8038 West 151st Street, Overland Park, KS 66223
  • Nall Hills Shopping Center, 9606 Nall Avenue, Overland Park, KS 66207

It is the latest blow to the retail industry still reeling from Bed Bath & Beyond's bankruptcy this week, resulting in six Bed Bath & Beyond stores in Kansas closing.
