Home goods retailer Conn's HomePlus has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and announced the closure of at least 70 stores nationwide, including 18 locations in Florida (3 in Orlando). This immediate release will undoubtedly cause many Florida residents to wonder about the future of their local Conn's stores and their impact on the community.

About The Closures: Conn's, a 134-year-old company known for its furniture and electronics, is facing declining sales and mounting financial pressures. The closures come as the company tussles with a shift in consumer behavior, ongoing inflation, and the aftermath of its acquisition of W.S. Badcock in 2023, which has problematized its financial landscape.

CEO Norm Miller highlighted the urgent need for restructuring efforts to stabilize the business during these challenging times.

Community Impact and Sales

As store closing sales commence, the store said on its website that customers can expect significant discounts ranging from 30% to 50% off across all merchandise, both in-store and online.
