Big Changes Coming to South Carolina: American Freight is Closing Its Doors
Columbia, S.C. — The news is hitting hard for furniture and appliance shoppers across South Carolina, as American Freight has announced that it will be closing all of its stores in the state, along with 328 locations nationwide. Shoppers looking for deals may want to get moving, as there are huge sales underway, with discounts reaching up to 30% off storewide!
What’s Going On?
Recently, the parent company of American Freight, Hilco Consumer-Retail, declared that the company had filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in federal court, which is never easy news for a business. This unfortunate venture was a result of “inflation and macroeconomic challenges,” leading to the tough decision to close all stores. So, if you’ve been eyeing that cozy sofa or a new refrigerator, you might want to grab it before it’s gone forever!

- Aiken: 1680 Richland Ave W
- Rock Hill: 809 Albright Rd
- Greenville: 1117 Woodruff Rd
- North Charleston: 5101 Ashley Phosphate Rd
All these locations will be having sales, but you’d better hurry. Hilco is encouraging shoppers to come early for the best selection as they work to clear out all their inventory!

During this massive closing sale, shoppers will find a variety of items up for grabs. Expect to see:
- Living room sets
- Bedroom furniture

- A selection of scratch & dent and new in-box appliances, such as refrigerators, washers, and dryers
Even with the liquidation moving quickly, American Freight is reassuring customers that new inventory is still arriving, so their choice will be fresh and current. We all love a good bargain, and with everything being marked down, it’s a golden opportunity for savvy shoppers!
