Party City going out of business

[@texasgina]

So sad! Amazon is causing a lot of businesses to close. Meanwhile Amazon employees can’t use the restroom because they are so busy trying to get orders done

[@georgegiorgio]

We should stop feeding the monster

[@markdc1145]

Amazon didn't cause anything, people have a choice and they decided online

[@xstine8665]

Party city was extremely, ridiculously overpriced. I'm surprised it didn't happen sooner.

[@WBWLM]

But people still buy from them

[@user-ys2ko2jt4y]

@@markdc1145 Amazon didn't cause anything? They are selling products cheap and arguably paying low wages. In market capitalism, employers are racing to the bottom.

Such a darn shame. I used to visit Party City back when I was a kid. Another great store from my childhood sadly going out of business.

[@margeryojije7862]

Sadly I’m one of the employees who will be laid off :( guess it’s jog hunting time.

[@Truechildofgod]

Surprised they’ve lasted this long considering for most decorations you can just go to dollar tree.

[@nannerz1994]

Yeah but party City always had the best licensed stuff like themed not just colors

[@Truechildofgod]

@@nannerz1994 the 99 cent store offered themed party supplies as well and it was a dollar back in the day. Though they are now out of business as well I think this contributed to party city’s decline. There was just much more affordable items that appealed to the working class.

[@selinapersaud7629]

And their stuff stuff is always good quality.

[@TwinkieGurlMeowMeow]

CA knows how to party. We keep it rockin! . Sadly, this party city is coming to a close. RIP 🥲

[@henrylivingstone2971]

What?

[@knuclear200x]

Where are people going to get their party supplies now? Amazon? What if the thing they bought online doesn't work out? This is why online shopping isn't as reliable

[@estherwilliams7005]

I go to dollar tree. They have almost everything. Then I try Walmart. If Walmart doesn’t have it I buy online. Usually eBay or oriental trading co has everything I need. You just have to plan a couple of weeks in advance. I haven’t gone to party city in years.

People should reduce online shopping and buy more at your local brick and mortar stores that’ll help local businesses and economy

Unless you're Walmart, that's never happening. Hence why retailers are dying across the country.

[@alphalight1469]

Party city, 99 cent stores, big lots. Sad just sad.

[@baileez821]

Grocery stores and the dollar stores ran away with the balloon business! Good for them. Party City sold its balloon company some years ago. They were buying balloons from some place in China which is why there was a constant shortage.

[@yosoyringodesanantonio8405]

It’s so Sad to see Party City go. Because sadly the party is over, and we need to pay respects

[@anonymoushuman8443]

Oof two empty buildings next to each other

[@kialuvsyoo]

Uh oh

[@somewhereinspace2166]

That's how it's gonna be in my city too, our Party city is virtually right next to the 99 Cent Store that went out earlier in the year. It's got a few tiny small shops in-between, but 2 huge empty buildings in 1 parking lot is really gonna kill the foot traffic for those small stores too. Awful, more people need to consider in-person shopping again.

[@Harley_Faye47]

I guess California will never know how to party after all.

[@pursegirly]

Everyone will end up working at warehouses 😢😢😢 what a hell hole

[@AlexandraWilliams-lp6qc]

Stop blaming Amazon

[@alexanderbanos8125]

1:55 Wow! Next door to Party City in Alhambra CA is Big Lots (originally Toys R Us), which has now closed down. Hopefully, once Party City closes down, the former Sears building in Alhambra CA at Fremont Plaza that later housed Toys R Us/Big Lots and Party City in the mid-1990's can get replaced with a TJ Maxx store combined with a HomeGoods store next door. TJ Maxx can replace the former Toys R Us/Big Lots space while HomeGoods can replace the former Party City space, once that store closes down.

[@carloso5910official]

Is there a chance Party City comes back in a few years

[@8213apice]

Oh no! So many memories ❤ definitely had wonderful parties off off party city.

[@crystalstar8788]

Also the Macys in downtown L.A will be closing down too.

[@princessmarlena1359]

I got a ton of notices from Party City filing for Chapter 11. I haven’t worked for them in years, even moved to a different state. And not just them, but nearly 2/3 of my former retail employers have either filed for Chapter 11, faced class action lawsuits, closed for good, or all of the above.

That’s sad I’ve been there for years I love that store a lot but I’ll look for another party store in the future

[@DawnRK3204]

I used to go in there often when my boys were young, but I just don’t decorate for parties anymore. The last couple times I visited for decor, the lines were long and slow and the prices were a bit steep. I like their products more than the Dollar Tree, but they should’ve tried bringing their prices down and running sales.
