Last week I wrote an article about the discount retailer known as Tuesday Morning closing all of its stores in Fort Worth, Texas.

All items were on sale, but now there is a new development with the company literally selling everything in the store- including fixtures and equipment.

Let's take a look at the story.

Tuesday Morning

Tuesday Morning was founded in Texas in 1974. Several years ago, it had 687 stores across the United States, but it has faced many financial issues since then. Last month the company filed for bankruptcy in the Northern District of Texas, Fort Worth division. It was the second bankruptcy filing for the company in three years.

At the time of the filing, it also announced it would close over half of its stores, including 24 in Texas and all four of its stores in Fort Worth. Once these stores are closed there will be just 215 left in the United States.

In announcing the store closures, the company stated it would:

“Enable the company to reduce its outstanding liabilities, obtain the significant and necessary capital, and ultimately transform into a nimbler retailer that serves heritage markets in a profitable manner.”

Tuesday Morning stores closing in Fort Worth:

• Village at Camp Bowie, 3501 Bernie Anderson Ave, Fort Worth, TX 76116
• Hulen Fashion Center, 5240 South Hulen Street, Fort Worth, TX 76132
• Presidio Towne Crossing, 2225 Porter Creek Drive, Fort Worth, TX 76177
• Shops at Chisholm Trail Ranch, 5517 Sierra Springs Ln, Fort Worth, TX 76123

The stores listed for closure above offered sales on all items, and savvy shoppers took advantage of this by snapping up bargains.

Now the website has been updated to state that even the store fixtures and equipment can be bought, advising customers to speak with the store manager.

It remains to be seen how much extra funds the business will gain from selling off fixtures and equipment.

I will continue to update readers with any new developments in this story.
