Supply chain problems continue to plague industries across the U.S. But one Plano-based company has been digging itself out of the issue—and now it’s passing its savings along to customers.
At Home, a home and holiday superstore company that operates 261 locations in 40 states, saw its supply chain costs rise over $300 million between 2021 and 2022. The company says it has since found ways to improve its freight costs, and on Wednesday it announced thousands of “permanent price drops” on items including furniture, rugs, and décor.
“As we see inflation continue to impact our customer from the gas pump to the grocery store, it’s more important than ever we pass our savings to the customer,” Chad Stauffer, At Home’s president and chief merchandising and product officer, said in a statement.
“Passing on these supply chain cost savings will provide customers more purchasing power for the home items they desire,” Stauffer added. “Great value is important to our customer and critical to ensuring the entire economy stays healthy by enabling more customers to buy. We stay committed to décor for all, all for less. We will continue to evaluate our margins and the market, always looking for savings for our customer.”
The company said it’s celebrating the price drops by giving away $25,000 in At Home gift cards to “Insider Perks members” who shop at its stores between now and April 4.
