Use your gift cards if you have them!

NorthJersey.com: Linens 'n Things stores start closing next week

I'm sorry to read this.
Apparently they are closing 120 stores nationwide.
Seven are listed as closing/closed in my state.

Yikes. Thanks for letting us know. I have a $100 gift certificate I have to use up. (I really don't like that store much, but I don't want to just lose $100 either. I guess I'll buy some spare bed pillows!

Im glad ours isn't closing yet, but figured someone lived in a closing town on here!

Ours closed several months ago. It was a new store, maybe a few years old. We do still have a Bed, Bath and Beyond right down the road from where the Linen and things used to be. I thought it was odd that they put them so near each other.

The one near us is staying open but many in our state closed. I don't shop there often but if they were gone, Bed Bath and Beyond wouldn't take expired or competitors coupons anymore. When LNT was closed (ie: partially destroyed) by a big snowstorm many years ago, BB&B stopped taking competitors and expired coupons. So...we need them both around for competition

Our LNT just relocated into an upscale new mall ... strange.

Looks like they are closing them all?

Mine is closing and I got some good deals on bed pillows. Pkg of 2 $7.99 regulary $14.99. I`m going back to get some more. The sign said 30%off but it was better than that.

The cashier at the LNT near me told me that gift cards were no longer being honored by certain stores. COUPONS, too! Gosh, I hope those with gift cards can use them!

I just went to mine. They still had a big sign up saying they accept competitors coupons and they took my gift card without any problem. Better safe than sorry though.

I happened to stop at one today, simply because I was driving by. The sign in the window said last 4 days, deep discounts. I thought great ! Maybe I will find a few true bargains.

It was not to be. The "deep" discounts were 30 - 50 % off. No better than any other sale, imo. The inventory left was perhaps 1/4 of what typically would be in the store. I know people flock to stores going out of business and blindly think they are getting great deals, but 30 - 50 %, again to me is a sale. This store has been there in a new plaza about 2 years. Also about this time last year, the Rag Shop went out of business next door ( and they did do deep discounts). This plaza is right off the interstate, so lots of traffic.
