The home decor company said Monday it is closing up to 450 stores and will also shutter distribution centers. It didn't say where the store closures would occur, but it operates stores in the U.S. and Canada. Pier 1 also plans layoffs at its corporate headquarters in Fort Worth, Texas.
There are seven Pier 1 locations in the Pittsburgh area. Were working to find out if any of those are on the closure list.
The company didnt say how many workers will be impacted.

#15 I heard today at work one guy say he eats out everyday. A newly married guy was describing his home dinners to the rest.... he has that wife trained : )
