<h2>Circle Furniture 有着悠久的歷史</h2>
<ul>
<li>成立於 1950 年代初的家族企業：Circle Furniture 起初是一家由 Tubman 家族成員創辦的家族經營零售商，迅速在馬薩諸塞州劍橋市建立了自己的地方家居用品商店。該業務從 Putnam Circle（現在的 Putnam Square）的小規模起步，發展成為知名的區域傢俱零售商，來自《傢俱今日》的報道。</li>
<li>在幾十年間擴展到新英格蘭：在近 70 年的時間裏，Circle Furniture 從最初的商店擴展到馬薩諸塞州和新罕布什爾州的多個展廳，包括波士頓的海港社區、阿克頓、弗雷明漢、劍橋、海安尼斯、米德爾頓、彭布羅克（MA）和朴茨茅斯（NH），《傢俱今日》補充道。</li>
<li>家族擁有，注重質量和社區：在其歷史的大部分時間裏，該公司強調高質量的傢俱、工藝和社區參與。它從當地和美國製造商那裏採購許多產品，並將自己定位為提供永恆、精良家居用品的零售商，該公司在其網站上分享。</li>
<li>在 2000 年代中期及以後持續增長：在其歷史的不同階段，Circle Furniture 不斷適應和發展。例如，在 2004 年，該公司在馬薩諸塞州丹弗斯開設了第五家商店，擴展其展廳以更好地服務於州內不同地區的客户，《傢俱今日》報道。</li>
<li>品牌重塑和所有權演變：該企業保持其作為第三代家族擁有零售商的身份，並繼續在大波士頓地區運營展廳，直到關閉。資料顯示，領導層和所有權隨着時間的推移而演變，同時在其運營的很大一部分中保持 Tubman 的遺產，《更好的商業局》報道。</li>
</ul>
<h2>Circle Furniture 面臨法律問題</h2>
<p>雖然該連鎖店尚未申請破產，但如果申請破產或在沒有正式申請的情況下清算，員工可能會對未支付的工資提出索賠。</p>
<p>“違反 WARN 法案通知要求的僱主需向每位受影響員工支付相當於違反期間的未支付工資和福利，最長可達 60 天。” 根據美國勞工部的説法。</p>
<p>員工或工會可以在聯邦法院提起訴訟，以維護他們在 WARN 法案下的權利。勞工部在 WARN 法案下沒有執法權，也不調查投訴或提起訴訟以執行 WARN 法案。</p>
<p>根據美國國會的規定，公司可能不需要提供 WARN 通知的三種情況。</p>
<ul>
<li>衰退公司例外：如果僱主正在為其衰退的企業尋求融資或業務，並認為有現實的機會獲得足夠的資金或新業務以使設施保持開放，則可以在工廠關閉時提供減少的通知，但在大規模裁員時則不能。</li>
<li>不可預見的商業情況例外：如果僱主無法合理預見導致工廠關閉或大規模裁員的商業情況，則可以提供減少的通知。</li>
<li>自然災害例外：如果裁員是由於洪水、地震、乾旱或風暴等自然災害造成的，僱主也可以提供減少的通知。如果工廠關閉或大規模裁員間接由於自然災害，則不適用該例外；然而，不可預見的商業情況例外可能適用。</li>
</ul>
<p>根據《波士頓環球報》，員工並沒有預料到裁員，儘管一些人知道公司面臨一些困難。</p>
<p>“他們正在努力解決和應對一些財務困難，但這就是我所知道的全部，” 在公司工作近 40 年的喬納森·博伊爾説。“這不是一個好情況。”</p>
<p>Circle Furniture 沒有回應多家媒體的評論請求。</p>
<h3><strong>在 2025 年關閉或破產的傢俱連鎖店和零售商</strong></h3>

<li>Value City Furniture（密歇根州門店）：根據《Here Detroit》的報道，在申請第 11 章破產後，密歇根州的幾家 Value City Furniture 門店關閉或開始清算銷售，作為重組過程的一部分。</li>
<li>At Home（家居裝飾 + 傢俱連鎖店）：於 2025 年 6 月 16 日申請第 11 章破產，理由是債務和行業壓力。在破產程序中，該連鎖店確定了多家門店的關閉（包括在 7 月宣佈的六家額外關閉），《Furniture Today》報道。</li>
<li>American Mattress：一家地區性傢俱零售商，於 2025 年 7 月中旬申請第 11 章破產，計劃關閉約 52 家門店（主要在伊利諾伊州和印第安納州），儘管其他州的一些門店將繼續營業，根據 TheStreet 的報道。</li>

<p>Circle Furniture 是一家擁有 70 多年曆史的新英格蘭連鎖店，聖誕節前夕突然關閉了所有門店並裁員。關閉的消息通過電子郵件宣佈，原因是財務困難。該公司沒有提交大規模裁員所需的 WARN 通知。Circle Furniture 曾在馬薩諸塞州和新罕布什爾州擴展，強調質量和社區參與。這次突如其來的關停影響了大約 65 名員工，突顯了企業在經濟低迷期間面臨的挑戰</p>

</div><ul>
<li>Founded as a family business in the early 1950s: Circle Furniture began as a family-run retailer in Cambridge, Massachusetts, started by members of the Tubman family, quickly establishing itself as a local home furnishings shop. The business grew from its small beginnings in Putnam Circle (now Putnam Square) into a well-known regional furniture retailer, according to Furniture Today.</li>
<li>Expanded across New England over decades: Over nearly 70 years, Circle Furniture expanded beyond its original store to multiple showroom locations throughout Massachusetts and New Hampshire, including Boston’s Seaport neighborhood, Acton, Framingham, Cambridge, Hyannis, Middleton, Pembroke (MA), and Portsmouth (NH), added Furniture Today.</li>
<li>Family-owned with focus on quality and community: For much of its history, the company emphasized high-quality furniture, craftmanship, and community involvement. It sourced many products from local and U.S. manufacturers and positioned itself as a retailer of timeless, well-made home furnishings, the company shared on its website.</li>
<li>Growth through the mid-2000s and beyond: At various points in its history, Circle Furniture continued to adapt and grow. For example, in 2004 the company opened a fifth Massachusetts store in Danvers, Massachusetts, expanding its showrooms to better serve customers in different regions of the state, according to Furniture Today.</li>
<li>Rebranding and ownership evolution: The business maintained its identity as a third-generation, family-owned retailer and continued operating showrooms across the Greater Boston area until its closure. Profiles show leadership and ownership evolving over time while keeping the Tubman legacy in place through much of its operation, reported the Better Business Bureau.</li>
