According to PartyCity.com, there are currently 26 locations currently operating in the state of Michigan, soon to be 22.

Store Closing on April 26th, 2023

One of the locations, Jackson, Michigan, let us take some behind the scenes photos of this once vibrant store, just 6 days before it closes forever. Odd items are left and sorting through it all takes some time. Many customers spend an excessive amount of time combing through the remaining stock, which at this time was all 90% off.

Jackson, Michigan will be left without a permanent, full service party good supplier. That is until Halloween USA comes along in September. Will the October ghoul take over the husk of Party City come fall? Time will tell.

Party City you will be missed, especially when your community needs immediate access to Transformers plates, My Little Pony streamers, a Happy Retirement banner and a "sorry to hear you're going out of business" greeting card.
