At Metaintro, we track layoffs, store closures and return-to-office mandates in our layoffs tracker.

When Will The Store Close?

The closing process begins with a sale rather than an immediate shutdown. Michaels began a liquidation sale Thursday at the Trumbull store, with discounts of up to 70% on some items.

The remaining inventory determines when trading ends: The Trumbull Mall store will remain open until all of the merchandise there is sold.

Why Is Michaels Jewelers Closing The Location?

The decision to close the Trumbull location was a difficult one, said DeAnna Syner, marketing director for Michaels Jewelers. Her explanation focused on changing conditions at the shopping center and fewer visitors: with the evolving landscape of the mall and the continued decline in foot traffic, we felt it was in the best interest of our business to close this location.

What Happens To Employees And Other Locations?

For workers, the announced path includes an opportunity to move within the business. Michaels has 11 other stores in Connecticut, ands employees of the Trumbull store will have the opportunity to transfer to other locations.

The remaining retail network includes a nearby alternative: With the closing of the Trumbull store, the next closest store will be Milford.

What Should Affected Workers Do Next?

  • Ask for written details about transfer eligibility, available roles and the application process.
