Pier 1 To Slash 40% Of Its HQ Staff
Pier 1 To Slash 40% Of Its HQ Staff

Home goods retailer Pier 1 is planning to lay off about 40% of its headquarters staff, or roughly 300 people.

According to Business Insider, the company has also drafted a bankruptcy plan.

Pier 1 has been struggling to turn around its business following eight straight quarters of sales losses.

It's also faced mounting competition from retailers such as Wayfair and Walmart.

Pier 1 said in September that it could close up to 15% of its stores in its current fiscal year if it failed to reach performance goals.

That would amount to about 150 stores.
