Today I bought a pair of Birkenstocks, my first since the late 70s, and a pair of Ohana sandals made by OluKai which are a revelation to me, I never knew flip-flops could be genuinely comfortable shoes.

In short, I bought happy feet! :cheesy:

Close down like they are going out of business or for lockdown?

dusting off this profile
 

Pier 1 is closing all of its stores permanently. Their parent company is also permanently closing other chains, including Catherines, which upsets me greatly.

Wow, I kind of wish I wasn't in purge mode. They have some nice things. I'm glad you can make use of the sales even though it's a sad closing. I think there is a lot of that to come...

A trans-vaginal ultrasound - $319.72 (my portion after insurance)
3 Krispy Kreme doughnuts - $4.35 (I deserved a break after that ultrasound)

I know, riiight? It seems like one place after another is just not able to weather the COVID storm, especially if their sales were sliding beforehand.

They had some rolling display carts that were nice but the wrong color for my design so I opted not to but I wanted to because there's nothing more pulling at the wallet strings than the knowledge that if you don't get it now, you never will.

For the record, the only stuff that I really and truly felt a pull towards was some the dining furnishings but even with the sale, I don't want to pay what they are asking for them so that's that. Maybe in a couple of weeks, if they are still there, the prices might be more reasonable. They are fast selling anything I consider shop worthy. All of the fun stuff that I've gotten before...area rugs, artwork, et cetera...is either totally gone or has whittled down to the ridiculous and less desirable stuff. At least, the store I frequent anyway.

Today, I did not buy anything but I did send away for free flooring samples. Free is the BEST price!



I hate those things. They never come in a small size.

I would have gotten half a dozen.

Good in the closet, car, storage chest, garage

Pier 1 is going out of business however they do not have a parent company. They were an individual company publicly owned and traded. I know because I have worked for them in their corporate office for over seven years and am losing my job. I've not only been a customer since the 1970s but after working for them all of these years, I can tell you they were an amazing company with a very employee centric culture. They slipped up a little a couple of years ago in not keeping up with eCommerce and well, the rest is history. The website is just a 'look book' now and you can no longer place orders there but stores should be open through at least the end of August if not maybe even the end of September depending on inventory. Some good bargains to be had now for sure. Their name and intellectual rights as well as the website were auctioned off and the buyer will be relaunching a new Pier 1 website but who is to say what that will even be like. It won't be Pier 1 though as we've known it all of these years. Super sad about it all.

Thanks for correcting me. I must have misunderstood the news story I read.

I'm so sorry to hear that you are losing your job with this...
