It seems like we are seeing more permanently closed signs than grand opening signs these days in Colorado.

Many stores and restaurants have been shutting their doors for good these past couple of months. In the past few months, it was announced that the Reserve at Old Elk in Fort Collins will permanently shut down.

Also, many Taco John restaurants across the state abruptly closed. Those are just two businesses, but there are way more closures happening weekly here in Colorado.

Another chain will be shutting down all of its Colorado locations.

However, Cheapism says that the parent company will close American Freight.

American Freight Colorado Locations

American Freight is an appliance, furniture, and mattress store. Many Coloradans love shopping at the store due to their low prices. There are American Freight stores in Centennial, Pueblo, Colorado Springs, and Westminster.

Expect A Mega Closing Sale

It is sad to see American Freight closing its doors. However, right now might be a good time to see if they will have any big sales. According to PR Newswire, you can get up to 30 percent off your purchase online and in person.

All sales will be final. There is no word on when each Colorado location will officially close, but it is fair to assume that it will be very soon.
