FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
American Sale to Close All Stores in Early 2027
TINLEY PARK, IL - November 12, 2026 - American Sale announces that the company will close and cease operations in early 2027.
American Sale, a prominent Chicagoland retailer specializing in pools, hot tubs, patio furniture, and Christmas décor has stated that they will be closing the business in early 2027. Earlier this year, the company had announced a sale of the business to a new owner. However, it has now been released that the transaction is no longer attainable, and the company will proceed to conclude operations sometime in early 2027.
“Our legacy as a longtime Chicagoland business is something I am truly proud of. We are disappointed that the sale of the business to new ownership did not materialize,” said Bob Jones III, President of American Sale. “However, as our company prepares to close, we will still do our utmost to make sure our customers have the best experience possible.”
The company is continuing their Total Liquidation Sale to clear out inventory throughout the rest of the year. Customers can find once-in-a-lifetime savings up to 70% off already reduced prices on above ground pools, patio furniture, hot tubs, Christmas décor and more. Financing is still available on purchases, as well as home delivery options.
“It’s truly the end of an incredible era. But we are so thankful to our amazing employees, customers, and community for their longstanding support,” said Erica Steadman, Director of Marketing. “We know that our products will continue to give families wonderful opportunities to enjoy their homes and connect with family and friends, and that’s a wonderful consolation.”
American Sale recognizes that this announcement is significant for customers, employees, and others connected to the business, and expresses its appreciation for their support. Currently, the company plans to continue operating most store locations for the remainder of the year. As they wind down, they will be updating the public via their FAQ page about the closure process. Please visit americansale.com/pages/updates-at-american-sale-faq-page for information.
