Product Details & Size Guide
GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Carry a piece of American retail history with this American Freight backpack. The company began in Lima, Ohio, in 1994 as American Freight Furniture & Mattress, then grew to 95 stores across 18 states by 2014. Its later combination with former Sears Outlet locations and the 2024 bankruptcy proceedings marked major changes in the home-furnishing market. A thoughtful choice for collectors and anyone interested in the changing stories behind familiar store names.
American Freight began in Lima, Ohio, in 1994, when Steve Belford founded a store called American Freight Furniture & Mattress. By 2014, the retailer had grown to 95 stores across 18 states. In October of that year, an affiliate of New York private equity firm The Jordan Company acquired the business. Franchise Group purchased American Freight for $450 million on February 14, 2020, and combined it with former Sears Outlet stores under the American Freight Furniture, Mattress, Appliance brand. After months of losses and turmoil, Franchise Group announced in November 2024 that it was preparing to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. On November 3, Franchise Group and its affiliated subsidiaries filed for protection in Delaware. American Freight liquidation sales began November 5, and stores were expected to close by year-end. In January 2025, a bankruptcy judge approved the sale of up to 28 stores and one distribution center to AF Newco I LLC. Two additional locations were included initially but withheld over possible state law issues. AF Newco I LLC planned to reopen the 28 stores and distribution center later in 2025.
