\nRecorded message says retailer will liquidate
\nHIGH POINT\u00c2\u00a0— Wood-Armfield, a High Point furniture retailer since 1939, abruptly closed its doors Monday, telling customers and vendors the company\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s assets would be liquidated.
\n
\nThe retailer, which has been on Furniture Today\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Top 100 list, gave no reason for the closing in a brief recorded message that greeted callers to its store on Tuesday.
\n<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153It is with great sadness that the company announces this action,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d the message said. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153We are working with our secured lender to determine how to best liquidate the company\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s assets.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
The message urged vendors and customers with pending orders to call back later this week for additional information.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153We would like to thank our suppliers and our employees, as well as our customers, for their past support and service, as well as their patience and understanding during this difficult time,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d the message concluded.<\/p>\n
The retailer, which had estimated revenues of $58.5 million in 2012, announced in March that it was closing its 16,000-square-foot Utility Craft store in High Point and consolidate the business into its larger Wood-Armfield store in downtown High Point.<\/p>\n
Its downtown store, a five-story, 136,000-square-foot facility, has been for sale for several months. The company had said it wanted to sell that property and build a new store on property it owns along Business Interstate 85.<\/p>\n
Gallahan’s Home Furnishings in Fredericksburg, Va., which is owned by Wood-Armfield, remained open on Tuesday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
