The Party City Liquidation: Lessons from the Retail Market

2024 ended with surprising news—Party City filed for bankruptcy for the second time in under 2 years. This time, however, it was liquidating. On December 21, 2024, Party City filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, looking to liquidate its assets. This happened after the company sent home all of its employees nationwide on December 10, 2024 and closed its corporate headquarters in New Jersey to everyone but executives on December 11, 2024. The resultant liquidation plan seeks to close all Party City locations by this February.
