Party City closing all stores

Only been there once or twice. They opened the one here about 5 years ago. From what I remember prices were so high but if you needed something right then it’s good or want to shop in store. Sad to see it go as someone that hates online shopping. That leaves one independent party store in my area.
 
Super over priced and they're unfortunately only relevant one time out of the year, halloween.
 
They've had financial issues for awhile. I think they declared bankruptcy at some point. I read they closed the offices earlier this month and pulled a team out of a conference (safety issue as they weren't paying their bills). So I guess the news didn't surprise me.
 
Over priced party goods that one doesn't really need to throw a party. That's a sound business model.
 
The nice girls at my nearest P.C. gave me a couple of cheap balloons so I could do a PCV blowby test.
That's the only time I ever went inside one.

Seems odd to close on Dec. 20th.
The profits through the "party season" can't compare with vacating a store "by the end of the month".
I suppose lease expiration dates are a noteworthy business barometric.

Never set foot in one. Party supplies are available elsewhere, right? E.g. Walmart, Dollar Store, other, etc.
 
I know a relative via marriage who works (ed?) there - buyer - for the helium. Some (most?) was sourced from Ukraine. Manager I think, something like that. Wife's side. Ima ask.
