American Freight is closing all of its 328 locations nationwide, the company announced Wednesday. Owensboro’s location has been open in Gateway Commons of KY 54 since 2021, when American Freight acquired the former FFO Home store.
Officials at the Owensboro location Thursday evening said they had to defer to corporate for comments. Signs were being hung inside the store that said “store closing” and “everything must go.”
According to a release, Hilco Consumer-Retail is managing the store closing sales for American Freight as the business winds down its operations across the U.S.
“Significant discounts to American Freight’s already everyday low prices are being offered on the brand’s full assortment of inventory,” the release says, noting shoppers can save up to 30% off the lowest ticketed prices storewide.
Available items include living room sets, bedroom furniture, dining tables, and a selection of scratch-and-dent and new-in-box appliances, such as refrigerators, washers, and dryers.
“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.”
During the store closing sales, select American Freight financing and delivery services will remain available to customers, the release says.
