Trees N Trends, a family-owned home décor chain that served the Southeast for over 30 years, has confirmed it is closing all six of its remaining store locations. This is not a bankruptcy. The Wallace family made the decision voluntarily and announced it publicly on Facebook on June 28.
If you shop there, have a gift card, or just want to know what happened — here’s a clear breakdown of everything confirmed so far.
Trees N Trends Is Closing All Six Stores Permanently
This is a full exit from brick-and-mortar retail, not a partial downsizing or temporary pause. All six Trees N Trends locations are closing for good.
The Wallace family announced the closures through a Facebook post, using language that made the decision clear: “the time has come to say goodbye” and “wind down our operations.” There is no plan to reopen under a new name or restructure into fewer locations.
Stores are currently open during a liquidation period, selling off remaining inventory at discounted prices. Once the inventory is gone, each location will close permanently. No single hard-close date applies to all stores — the timeline depends on how fast stock sells at each location.
Importantly, no bankruptcy filing has been made. This point has been confirmed by multiple outlets including The Street, Daily Mail, and Furniture Today. The owners are winding down on their own terms.
Which Locations Are Closing and When
Six stores across four states are affected. Here’s the full list:
- Kentucky: Paducah (flagship and headquarters), Henderson, Bowling Green
- Arkansas: Jonesboro
- Missouri: Cape Girardeau
- Tennessee: Jackson
Paducah is the original home base of the business. All six locations are now operating on reduced hours during the liquidation: Monday through Saturday, 10am to 6pm, closed on Sundays.
There is no published schedule showing exactly when each store will shut its doors. Closing dates depend entirely on how quickly inventory moves at each individual location. If you want to shop the clearance, don’t wait too long.
This is not the first time the chain has reduced its footprint. The Hattiesburg, Mississippi location closed back in 2016, though the rest of the stores stayed open at that time. The current closures are different — this is the entire chain, not a single underperforming location.
What Customers Should Do Before the Stores Close
If you have a connection to any of these stores, there are a few practical things worth knowing right now.
Liquidation Discounts
Clearance discounts are currently running at 25–50% off across the store. Categories include furniture, outdoor furnishings, holiday and seasonal décor, and faux floral items. The deeper discounts will likely appear as inventory thins out, but there’s no guarantee on timing.
All Sales Are Final
During the liquidation period, no returns or exchanges are accepted. Payments are taken by cash or card only. If you buy something during clearance, you own it — there’s no coming back to return it.
Gift Cards and Store Credit
This is urgent. If you have a Trees N Trends gift card or store credit, use it now, while the stores are still open. Once locations close, it’s unclear whether any redemption option will remain. The company has made no official statement about what happens to unused gift cards after closing. Don’t assume there will be a way to redeem them later.
Warranties on Previous Purchases
If you bought furniture or other items from Trees N Trends before the closures were announced, your retailer-level support will end when the stores close. However, if the item came with a manufacturer’s warranty, that coverage typically stays in place regardless of what happens to the retailer. Contact the manufacturer directly with any warranty questions — don’t rely on the store to handle it after they’ve closed.
Online Store
As of now, there has been no official statement about whether the treesntrends.com website will remain active after the physical stores close. Treat that as uncertain. Do not count on the website being a backup option for gift card use or purchases once in-store operations end.
The Difference Between a Voluntary Closure and Bankruptcy
A lot of people hear “going out of business” and assume bankruptcy. In this case, that’s not what’s happening, and the difference matters.
Bankruptcy is a legal process managed by a federal court. A company files when it can no longer meet its financial obligations. Under bankruptcy, a court oversees how assets are sold, how debts are paid, and what happens to creditors and customers. There are strict rules about who gets paid and in what order.
Trees N Trends is doing something different. This is a voluntary wind-down. The owners decided to close, sell the inventory, and exit the business on their own terms. No court is involved. No creditor committee is reviewing the books. The company settles its obligations privately.
For customers, this has a real practical implication. There is no court overseeing gift card claims or return policies. The company controls how any remaining obligations are handled. If a customer has a dispute or an unresolved claim after the stores close, there is no bankruptcy trustee to contact — and no formal legal process guaranteeing any kind of resolution.
Compare this to Bed Bath & Beyond or Mattress Firm, both of which filed for bankruptcy. In those cases, courts managed the liquidation process, and customers and creditors had a defined legal structure to work within. Trees N Trends has no such structure in place.
That’s not necessarily worse — voluntary closures can actually be cleaner and faster. But it does mean customers need to act during the window when the stores are still open, rather than expecting any post-closure remedy.
Why Would a Stable Regional Chain Close Without Being Forced To?
Trees N Trends operated for over 30 years. It wasn’t a startup that ran out of runway. So why close now?
The company hasn’t released a detailed financial statement or cited specific reasons beyond the family’s decision to wind down. But the broader context isn’t hard to read. Mid-sized regional home décor retailers have been under pressure for years from multiple directions.
On one side, large national chains — HomeGoods, Hobby Lobby, At Home — have scale advantages on pricing and buying power that smaller chains can’t easily match. On the other side, online platforms like Amazon and Wayfair have taken a significant share of home décor and furniture sales, particularly in the categories Trees N Trends specialized in: seasonal décor, faux floral, and outdoor furnishings.
Running six physical stores also means carrying fixed costs — rent, staffing, logistics — regardless of how sales perform in any given month. For a chain estimated to generate somewhere between $12 million and $20 million in annual revenue (based on third-party business data, which may be slightly outdated), those fixed costs leave limited margin for error.

Whether Trees N Trends was profitable right up until the end or had been struggling quietly for years isn’t publicly known. What is clear is that the Wallace family made a deliberate choice to exit while they still controlled the process — rather than waiting until a court had to make that call for them.
What This Means for the Communities These Stores Served
In smaller cities like Jackson, Tennessee and Cape Girardeau, Missouri, Trees N Trends wasn’t just a store. For many shoppers, it was the primary local option for home décor, seasonal items, and indoor/outdoor furniture. When a chain like this exits a mid-sized market, shoppers either drive farther to find alternatives or move online.
Local coverage from KBSI and community publications like the Connecting the Dots Jackson newsletter described the store as a community staple, with longtime customers expressing genuine loss at the news. The Wallace family’s farewell post reflected that history — this was clearly not an easy decision.
For the roughly 100 to 125 employees across all six locations, the closures represent real job losses. No public statements have been made about severance arrangements or transition support, so those details remain unknown.
The Short Version
Trees N Trends is closing all six stores permanently. It is not filing for bankruptcy. The Wallace family made this decision voluntarily, and liquidation sales are already underway with 25–50% discounts across all categories.
If you have gift cards, use them now. If you bought furniture with a warranty, contact the manufacturer directly. And if you want to shop the clearance, check your local store’s inventory soon — once it’s gone, the doors close for good.
