Tinley Park-based American Sale Corp. will close all of its stores by early 2027 because a deal to sell the chain to a new owner fell through, the company announced Thursday.
The company had been holding a liquidation sale ahead of a planned transfer to new ownership. It now plans to continue liquidation sales until the chain closes.
The Tinley Park outlet store has already closed. Liquidation sales will continue at the remaining locations in Bridgeview, Orland Park, Carol Stream, Lake Zurich, Naperville, Romeoville and Merrillville, Ind. The company’s Tinley Park warehouse also will close, according to the announcement.
All liquidation purchases have been final since Sept. 3, according to the company. All deliveries must be completed by the end of the year.
Gift card sales have ended. Gift cards and merchandise credits will be honored through Dec. 13, the company said.
Product warranties are not affected by the sale. Pool installation season is scheduled to end Nov. 15.
The company was founded 66 years ago as American Toy Sales. It is known throughout the suburbs and northwest Indiana for its holiday decorations, particularly Halloween and Christmas decor including inflatables, lights, trees, lawn displays and Lemax collectible ceramic buildings.
American Sale also sells pools, hot tubs, patio furniture, umbrellas, grills, gazebos and game tables.
A Lansing location closed several years ago.
