"Wren Kitchens abruptly ceased all U.S. operations on April 23, shuttering all brick-and-mortar retail locations and all of its showroom studios inside The Home Depot stores nationwide."
"According to social media, the sudden closure blindsided employees and customers, leaving many former U.S. employees without jobs and customers facing uncertainty."
"A notice on the Wren Kitchens U.S. website reads: 'We regret to inform you that our showrooms and studios are now closed.'"
"The WARN Act requires employers with more than 100 full-time employees to file a 60-day notice informing employees and government officials of upcoming layoffs."
Wren Kitchens abruptly closed all U.S. operations on April 23 and filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy the following day. The closure affected employees and customers, with many left without jobs or kitchen installations. A notice on the company's website confirmed the closure, and former employees reported being blindsided. The company had partnered with Home Depot to open showrooms in the U.S. but now has left customers in limbo, especially those who had begun kitchen renovations. Employee benefits were expected to be terminated shortly after the closure.
