Kirkland's, Inc. is an American retail chain that sells home decor, furniture, textiles, accessories and gifts. It operates 317 stores in 35 states[1][needs update] as well as an e-commerce enabled website. It is based in Brentwood, Tennessee.[2]
Kirkland's was founded by Carl Kirkland and Robert Kirkland in 1966 in Jackson, Tennessee, when they began selling home accessories at low prices. As of June 2024[needs update], the chain has grown to 314 stores in 35 states. Corporate Name Change
The Company plans to officially change its name to The Brand House Collective pending shareholder approval at the Company's upcoming annual meeting on July 24, 2025. In conjunction with its corporate name change, The Brand House Collective will change the Company's ticker symbol from "KIRK" to "TBHC," pending shareholder approval at the Company's upcoming annual meeting on July 24, 2025. Once effective, the "KIRK" trading symbol will no longer be active. No action is needed from the Company's current shareholders relative to the ticker symbol change. [3][4][5][6]
In February 2024, Kirkland's announced it had named Amy Sullivan as the new CEO, replacing CEO, Steve Woodward. Co-founder Robert Kirkland was also the main funder for nationally acclaimed museum and fun park, Discovery Park of America, located in Union City, Tennessee.[6]
On June 26, 2024 at the annual meeting of Kirkland's shareholders, two long-time members of Kirkland's Board of Directors, R. Wilson Orr, III and Steven J. Collins, resigned after failing to receive majority support from voting shareholders. Amy Sullivan was elected and Ann Joyce was re-elected to the Board of Directors. Ann Joyce was named Chairman of The Board of Directors. The Board of Directors voted to reduce the size of The Board of Directors from 8 members down to 6 members.
In October 2023, CreditRiskMonitor reported that Kirkland's was nearing a potential Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing.[7]
