The Pier 1 Imports store in Elmwood was closed last year during a round of store cuts. It was announced by the home accessories and decor retailer that another massive round of closings is underway. The current round will slash the Pier 1 Imports fleet in nearly half. We have learned that the location at 8832 Veterans Blvd. in Metairie will be closing during the current round of cuts. A store closing sale was well underway when we checked in yesterday.
The 8832 Veterans Blvd. location has already been removed from the store locator on the Pier 1 Imports website. The Old Metairie store at 800 Metairie Rd. is still listed on the store locator so it appears to be safe for the time being.
