Party City, which bills itself as the largest party goods retailer in North America, is closing all of its stores, including its location in Woodbury. The store at 1505 Queens Dr #117 in Woodbury Village is holding a storewide sale.
In a message posted on its website, Party City states it’s been in operation for four decades. “Like many retailers, we’ve been operating in an immensely challenging environment with inflationary pressures on both costs and consumer spending, and while we did everything we could to navigate these headwinds, our very best efforts were ultimately not enough to overcome these challenges,” the statement reads. “It has been a true pleasure to be a part of your most special moments over the years.”
In addition to Woodbury, the other Minnesota locations include Apple Valley, Bloomington, Chanhassen, Coon Rapids, Maple Grove, Maplewood, Roseville, St. Cloud, and St. Louis Park. The stores are expected to close at the end of February.
Earlier this year, Party City stores in Eagan and Mankato shut down as part of earlier efforts to stave off bankruptcy, according to Bring Me The News.
