The news of the bankruptcy filing was first reported on Monday (June 16), via multiple outlets. The company had been facing financial issues in recent months. They were reportedly working to restructure nearly $2 billion in debt as recently as April. Last month they missed interest payments with lenders.

In the filing today, the company cited financial pressures that they’re facing from economic conditions including the increased threats of international tariffs which would hurt their revenue structure. As part of the filing, they noted that 26 of their 260 retail stores would be closing in the coming weeks, with more store closing possible in the future.

How Will Ownership and Restructuring Work?

As for what’s next for the retail chain, their ownership will transfer to a group of hedge funds and investment firms.

"Given the expenses associated with brick-and-mortar operation and the issues affecting the retail industry, a number of the (At Home) remaining stores are operating at sub-optimal performance levels," the company wrote in court filings today.
