Party City Making Somewhat of a Comeback – Here’s How

Party City in St. Cloud closed almost two years ago.  It was a lot of people's go-to when it came to everything that you could want or need for any sort of celebration or holiday get together, or costumes of Halloween.  Party City was a lot of people's go-to party store.

WHEN PARTY CITY CLOSED IT FORCED PEOPLE TO SHOP MORE ONLINE

When it closed, it really was a bummer.  I for one, was wondering where I was going to get any of my needed party supplies.  Amazon it is! But it's was nice to be able to go and get them right away and have them rather than having to order online.  Also - it was a great place for helium balloons for any occasion.

NOW PARTY CITY IS MAKING A TYPE OF COMEBACK

Now, almost two years later, Party City seems to be making a type of comeback.

The announcement was made on Tuesday of this week that Party City would be coming back in the form of a section within some Staples stores.  The plan is to have Party City in 700 Staples stores across the country.

The plan also states that more locations will be coming soon.

FROM FOX 9 NEWS:

 Joel Weinshanker, CEO of Ad Populum, owner of Party City, said in a news release. "As we take the new Party City to more places than ever before, finding the right partners is essential. Staples stood out immediately, not only for its national footprint, but for its strong connection to the communities we have both been part of for years. It felt like a natural fit from the start. Together, we’re making it easier for our many millions of combined loyal customers to celebrate and party with confidence at their local Party City, now at Staples."

THE STAPLES STORE IN ST CLOUD CLOSED YEARS AGO

The unfortunate part of this story is that the Staples location that used to be here in St. Cloud closed several years ago. So, you might have to drive a bit to get to the next closest one which is in Minnetonka.
