    Party City — where people go to purchase party supplies, hopefully at prices that allow them to keep more money in their wallets — filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in January of last year as a bid to restructure its debt.

    In September, a plan emerged to reduce their debt by $1 billion, and the chain was able to exit bankruptcy. The plan managed to keep many locations open, but part of the agreement still kept some doors closed.

    State by state, here’s a list of all 36 Party City locations that have closed.

    Bottom line

    Party City closed a few dozen stores, but the retailer still has hundreds of locations across the country that remain open.

    If your Party City location is no more, there’s probably another location close by. If not, start scoping out your local dollar stores — they usually have a decent selection of streamers and mylar balloons at prices that will allow you to save money shopping .
