OREGON — The Oregon retail landscape is experiencing a new wave of closures this spring as national bankruptcies and strategic shifts lead several major furniture-related chains to shutter their doors. While some legacy brands exited the market last year, these closures represent the final stages of large-scale liquidations and corporate restructurings, which are expected to conclude in 2026.
Cascade Farm and Outdoor (Full Chain Closure)
In a move that impacts rural and suburban communities across the state, Bi-Mart has confirmed it will close all five of its Cascade Farm and Outdoor locations this spring. The chain, which offers a mix of home goods, furniture, and outdoor equipment, is being phased out as the parent company refocuses on its core pharmacy and membership-discount model.
- Oregon Locations: This total brand exit will result in the closure of several sites, including the prominent location in Walla Walla (serving the border region) and other regional hubs.
- Timeline: Liquidation is expected to conclude by May 2026.
Value City Furniture / American Signature
Following a bankruptcy filing in late 2025, parent company American Signature Inc. entered a total liquidation phase in January 2026 after failing to find a buyer for its assets. All remaining storefronts nationwide are scheduled to close by the end of this spring.
- The Impact: While Oregon has a limited number of these branded storefronts, the exit of this national budget-furniture giant removes a key competitor in the affordable home goods sector.
- Liquidation: Deep discounts of up to 50% are currently available across all sites as the brand works to clear its remaining 2026 inventory.
Orvis (Strategic Retail Retrenchment)
The Vermont-founded lifestyle giant Orvis is in the midst of a major restructuring that includes closing more than 30 stores and outlets nationwide through 2026.
- Focus on Core: The downsizing is part of a plan to shift away from general home decor and lifestyle furniture toward a focus on the brand's fly-fishing and wingshooting roots.
- Oregon Outlook: While the flagship Portland presence is part of the brand’s core heritage, various smaller outlets and home-focused departments within existing showrooms are being trimmed or closed this spring to streamline operations.
Macy’s Furniture Gallery (Final Wave of Closures)
As part of Macy’s "Bold New Chapter" turnaround plan, the department store giant is completing the closure of 150 underperforming stores by the end of 2026. This spring marks a critical phase for the chain’s standalone Furniture and Mattress Galleries.
- What to Expect: Several older furniture galleries in the Pacific Northwest that sit in the shadow of larger modernized "hub" stores are currently under review for closure.
- Employment: Macy's has stated it will attempt to relocate affected furniture specialists to nearby full-line stores where possible.
Consumer Survival Guide for 2026 Closures
With multiple liquidations happening simultaneously, Oregon shoppers are advised to follow these rules of thumb:
- Check Delivery Status: With retailers like American Signature winding down, ensure any pending furniture deliveries are scheduled and confirmed immediately.
- Final Sale Realities: expect "no-return" policies to be strictly enforced at Cascade Farm and Outdoor and Value City locations.
- Use Gift Cards Now: Gift cards typically become invalid shortly after a liquidation firm takes over the store's operations.
As these physical showrooms close their doors this spring, Oregonians will see a smaller footprint for "sit-and-test" furniture, as the market continues its steady shift toward high-efficiency digital showrooms.
