Haynes Furniture and its outlet brand, The Dump, will shutter all operations by Oct. 8, 2026, ending nearly 130 years of business for the VA-based furniture retailer.

The Strelitz family, which owns the company, announced the decision to wind down the business after more than a century of operation in the Commonwealth. The closure affects all retail locations under both the Haynes and The Dump banners, according to reporting from WTVR CBS 6.

A Century of Virginia Retail

The company began its history in 1894 and grew into a staple of the Virginia retail landscape. The Strelitz family described the decision to close the long-standing institution as a "bittersweet ending" to their tenure in the industry, according to WTVR CBS 6.

The transition period will last nearly two years, with the final closure date set for late 2026. The company did not immediately release specific details regarding liquidation sales or the future of the physical storefronts across VA.

"Bittersweet ending," the Strelitz family said in a statement regarding the closure of the 130-year-old business.

Timeline for Closure

Operations will continue across the retail footprint until the Oct. 8, 2026, deadline. According to WTVR CBS 6, the company intends to use the remaining time to manage the wind-down of its inventory and business affairs.

The closure marks the end of one of the oldest family-owned furniture operations in the region. The Strelitz family has not yet publicly detailed the specific economic factors or internal decisions that led to the total shutdown of the two brands.
