Linens 'N Things

NORTHBROOK, Ill. The remaining 371 Linens 'N Things stores will begin closing their doors on Oct. 17. In conjunction with the closings, the stores will be selling off items at up to 30% off their regular price. The store closing sale is being conducted by a joint venture group comprised of Hilco Merchant Resources, Gordon Brothers Group, Hudson Capital, SB Capital Group LLC, Great American Group LLC and Tiger/Nassi Group.

Michael Keefe, president and ceo Hilco Merchant Resources, said, “Consumers will find great values on everything in the store. Many items will be discounted like never before. This sale comes at a perfect time for everyone to enjoy large savings on many of their holiday gift purchases. Consumers who arrive at the start of the sale will certainly have the best selection of products from which to choose. We don’t expect this sale to last very long.”

The end of LNT was in sight earlier this week when no buyer emerged to purchase the struggling housewares chain. An auction was scheduled for interested bidders on Oct. 14, but when no buyers submitted a qualified bid, the auction was canceled, according to court documents.
