Painted Tree has announced Chapter 7 bankruptcy and the closure of 55 locations nationwide.
Thousands of vendors across the country were displaced overnight. Employees showed up to work this morning only to be laid off within the first 30 minutes.
This wasn't inevitable.
It didn't have to happen this way. It was the direct result of poor management and greed.
Today has been one of the hardest days we've ever had to process.
For us, this means losing a location that helped pay our bills, sustain our business, and keep us moving forward.
Painted Tree gave us a place to grow-to connect with customers and build something we were deeply proud of.
Today, that is gone.
Our community is grieving tonight.
The days ahead are going to be incredibly hard. We're being told that payouts for sales, deposits, and credits are lost. We will most likely never recover those funds. Painted Tree has stolen thousands from hundreds of vendors today, including us.
Rebuilding from this feels like trying to climb a hill that never ends right now, but we will overcome this.
In the words of Scarlett O’Hara “I can’t think about that right now. If I do I’ll go crazy. I'll think about it tomorrow. After all, tomorrow is another day.”
