Christmas Tree Shops To Go Out Of Business In PA

PENNSYLVANIA — It appears to be the end of the road for discount retailer Christmas Tree Shops, as it prepares to liquidate all of its stores including the seven remaining in Pennsylvania

Christmas Tree Shops recently filed papers in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware indicating that going-out-of-business sales would begin at all the chain's stores.

The sales could begin as soon as Thursday after the company defaulted on the loan funding its bankruptcy, according to the Wall Street Journal. Potential buyers have until then to object to the liquidation sales.

The company has seven stores in Pennsylvania: Allentown, Downingtown, Erie, Harrisburg, Lancaster, Moosic, and York.

The Massachusetts-based chain initially filed for bankruptcy in May following the collapse of its parent company, per Patch reporting.
