Discount Chain Shutting Down All Stores, Including Bossier City
The Mississippi-based discount retailer Dirt Cheap is shutting down all of its locations, following a bankruptcy filing. The parent company of Dirt Cheap, Channel Control Merchants, also owns the chains Treasure Hunt and Dirt Cheap Building Supplies.
After filing for bankruptcy, they have promised to hold closeout sales in stores, but they have not announced dates for those sales, or their official closings. This does include all stores, which means Bossier City's location. As well as their locations in Monroe, Lafayette, and Houma. All of their Texas stores will close as well. In total, they will close over 60 locations in 8 states.
The Dirt Cheap chain has been around for over 3 decades, buying other stores bankruptcy liquidations (as well as closeouts, returns, and overstocks) and reselling them to customers at massive discounts off MSRP.
Signs for the closings have already hit stores, but many reports indicate that neither stores or employees have details on dates for closeout sales or store closures.
