Tuesday Morning Stores To Close Across The Inland Empire

INLAND EMPIRE, CA — The discount home goods retailer Tuesday Morning Corp., which has 37 stores in California, could close some of them after filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection earlier this month.

Dallas-based Tuesday Morning will close 263 stores located in “low-traffic regions,” the company said in a statement. In California, there are 31 Tuesday Morning stores listed as closing soon. Here are the Inland Empire stores slated for closure:

• Rancho Cucamonga: 11098 E Foothill Blvd., Terra Vista Town Center, Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91730
• Redlands: 9940 Alabama Street Redlands Town Centre, Redlands, CA 92374
• Riverside, 17126 Van Buren Blvd., Woodcrest Plaza, Riverside, CA 92504
• Palm Desert: 44250 Town Center Way, Town Center Plaza, Palm Desert, CA 92260

In the Feb. 14 bankruptcy filing, Chief Executive Andrew Berger cited “exceedingly burdensome debt.” In a statement, Tuesday Morning said it had secured a $51.5 million debtor-in-possession commitment from Invictus Global Management to support operations during the bankruptcy proceedings.

“We have determined that the best path to reorganizing and transforming the company begins with a Chapter 11 filing,” Berger said in a statement. “Fortunately, we have the support of a committed capital provider in Invictus and a clear vision for transforming into a focused retailer that serves its core, heritage markets in a profitable manner.”

The company said the “targeted approach to winding down unprofitable and underperforming stores will position Tuesday Morning to emerge from bankruptcy with a profitable, cash-generating store fleet that serves its most engaged and loyal customers.”

Overall, the company has 487 stores in 40 states that employ about 1,600 full-time and 4,700 part-time employees.

Tuesday Morning previously sought Chapter 11 bankruptcy in May 2020, closing 200 of its stores at that time, according to MarketWatch.
