Dirt Cheap stores to close after parent company files for bankruptcy
SUMMARY: Dirt Cheap, an “extreme value” retail chain with over 60 locations in the Southeast, has filed for bankruptcy in Delaware, prompting store closures and sales by year-end. The parent company, which also owns affiliated outlets, cited financial struggles linked to competition with Target, which began offering better returns to a rival store, leaving Dirt Cheap with lower-quality inventory. The chain, founded in Hattiesburg over 30 years ago, primarily resells overstock and off-season merchandise. Dirt Cheap’s bankruptcy follows similar filings from retailers like Big Lots and True Value this year.
