(Harrisburg, PA) Pennsylvania Attorney General Dave Sunday is encouraging Pennsylvanians to use any gift cards for American Signature Furniture and Value City Furniture stores before December 22nd, 2025, following a recent Chapter 11 bankruptcy announcement. While store closure plans have only been announced for one Pennsylvania location, Value City in Mechanicsburg, there are several other store locations in Pennsylvania expected to be impacted, possibly in the near future. Following the November 22nd bankruptcy filing, the Office of Attorney General’s Bureau of Consumer Protection and Financial Enforcement Sections successfully argued for an extended deadline, December 22nd, to use any gift cards with a balance. “Our team is working on behalf of Pennsylvanians to make sure a company’s bankruptcy filing is not used as a shield to avoid obligations to customers with unused gift cards,” Attorney General Sunday said. “We fought hard to extend an unreasonable deadline and provide consumers a bit more time to use these cards — so act fast.” Gift cards will not be accepted at any locations that have begun store closing sales.

Though the bankruptcy court has not yet established a proof of claim deadline, consumers who believe they may have a bankruptcy claim against American Signature, due to a gift card issue or otherwise, can file a proof of claim in the bankruptcy at https://www.veritaglobal.net/
