Background on the Liquidation
In November 2025, American Signature Inc. filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, initiating a court-supervised process to facilitate the sale of its assets. The company planned to close 33 underperforming stores, including seven in Michigan, while attempting to restructure the business. However, by January 2026, after no bids were received, the company announced the closure of all remaining locations under its two brands nationwide.
The liquidation sales are being managed by a joint venture of SB360 Capital Partners, Hilco Global, and Gordon Brothers. The company is winding down operations across its entire footprint, with all 89 remaining stores nationwide entering “Going Out of Business” sales beginning January 10.
