Where to shop in Fort Worth right now: 5 stores to spend some mad money

There are changes afoot in the Fort Worth shopping scene, from openings to spring sales. Swing by these five stores this month — but don’t blame us when the credit card bill comes in.

Belk
The Southern department store opened in Euless on March 9. Brands include Ralph Lauren, Michael Kors, Kate Spade, Calvin Klein, Lucky, Jessica Simpson, Marc Jacobs, Donna Karan, and Dior.

Calloway’s Nursery
Spring is a time for planting, and those with a green thumb — or hoping to develop one — have yet another place to dig up deals and expertise on flowers and shrubbery. Fort Worth-based Calloway’s has two new locations as of this month, in Mansfield and in northern Fort Worth, on North Tarrant Parkway.

The Modern
The annual spring clearance sale has returned to the uber-cool Modern Shop, housed inside the the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth. Customers can shop a wide variety of merchandise — coffee table books, prints, and art-inspired gifts — at prices up to 75 percent off. Stop in Monday through Thursday, 10 am-5 pm, and Friday, 10 am-8 pm, for the best deals.

PalletSmart
PalletSmart, the Fort Worth carpentry shop known for furniture and decor made from upcycled wood pallets, opened its first public shop this month. Although the brand gained fame for its larger furniture pieces seen at popular Fort Worth spots like Rahr Brewery, Cane Rosso, and Fred’s, it now offers smaller items such as planter boxes, trays, and bird houses.

Tyler’s Fort Worth
New to the WestBend development, Austin import Tyler’s brings a touch of the state capital’s style to Fort Worth. The store is stocked with a variety of trendy merchandise, as well as athletic and skate gear, from brands such as Roxy, Hurley, Toms, Nike, Birkenstock, and Minnetonka. Tyler’s also has a location in Southlake Town Square.

Closure News

American Freight furniture chain to shut down 2 Fort Worth-area stores

American Freight

There's a big sale going on at American Freight.

There's a huge sale on furniture going down right now, but for a sad reason: American Freight, a chain of furniture stores operating in dozens of states, is permanently shuttering all 328 locations, due to “sustained inflation and macroeconomic challenges,” according to its parent company.

That includes two Fort Worth-area stores, part of seven stores overall in the Dallas-Fort Worth.

The closing comes after its parent company, Franchise Group, Inc., filed for bankruptcy protection, according to documents filed in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Delaware.

Store closing sales began on November 5, both online and at its 328 locations. Hilco Consumer-Retail is managing these sales for American Freight as the business winds down its operations nationwide. Significant discounts are being offered on the brand's full assortment of inventory.

Shoppers can save up to 30 percent off the lowest ticketed prices storewide. Available items include living room sets, bedroom furniture, dining tables, and a selection of scratch & dent and new in-box appliances, such as refrigerators, washers and dryers.

New inventory is arriving and expected to move quickly, so customers should take advantage of this prime opportunity to enjoy exceptional deals before it's too late.

"Our goal is to deliver outstanding value to customers during this full chain closing sale," said Ian Fredericks, CEO of Hilco Consumer-Retail. "Everything is on sale and must be sold, and we recommend shopping early for the best selection."

During the store closing sales, select American Freight financing and delivery services will remain available to customers, presenting a unique opportunity to shop exceptional discounts with the convenience of flexible payment and home delivery.

The chain has 39 stores in Texas, including 7 in DFW and two in Tarrant County, all closing as follows:

401 Southwest Plaza, Ste 105, Arlington
1265 Town Square Dr, Fort Worth
1825 Westpark Dr Grand Prairie
2964 W Wheatland Rd, Dallas
109 N Greenville Ave, Allen
1215 Marsh Ln, Carrollton
1418 N Town East Blvd, Mesquite
