In addition to our normal news coverage, What Now Atlanta is tracking ways Atlanta’s businesses are adapting to the novel coronavirus and the challenges it brings to brick-and-mortars.
Tuesday Morning is closing down at least seven locations across the Metro Atlanta area, and eight stores total in Georgia, before the end of 2020.
What Now Atlanta Thursday uncovered the list, noted as the “first wave” of planned closures, as part of a bankruptcy filing by Tuesday Morning.
The company made the filing Wednesday, citing the financial hardships related to COVID-19 stay at home orders.
Tuesday Morning in total will close 230 stores this summer, the discount home furnishings retailer announced, so it’s possible that Georgia’s eight closures will increase.
“These stores were identified as underperforming or are situated in areas where too many locations are in close proximity,” the company said in a statement.
Tuesday Morning in anticipation of the closures will start a liquidation sale on Monday, June 1.

I used to really love the Tuesday Morning in Midtown.
Citing C-19 as the reason for bankruptcy/store closings seems a little lame.
Particularly when it’s followed by this comment–
I’m guessing e-commerce had more to do with it than COVID-19.
