Pier 1 Price Tracker

Pier 1 traces its roots to 1962, when Charles Tandy and Luther Henderson backed a Cost Plus franchise in San Mateo, California; the stores were renamed Pier 1 Imports in 1966 and the company moved to Fort Worth, Texas. At its peak it had more than 1,000 stores in the US and Canada, but it filed for bankruptcy in 2020 and closed them all. Retail Ecommerce Ventures bought the brand that year and relaunched pier1.com as an online-only shop run from Dallas.

Pier 1 still sells imported-style furniture, table-top items, decorative accessories and seasonal décor, but without stores there is no in-store clearance or local pricing: everything happens on the website. Reductions typically follow the seasonal collections, sale events and markdowns on remaining stock. With furniture and large décor, the delivery charge can matter as much as the item price, so look at the total in the basket rather than the headline discount.

Online-only means you can't see a piece before you buy it, and the same design is often offered in several sizes, finishes or colours with separate prices. Set your alert on the exact variant you want – the 5x8 rug rather than the 8x10, the natural rattan chair rather than the white one – and SaleAlarm emails you when that version gets cheaper. With seasonal décor, an alert set before the season helps you see whether the post-holiday markdown is worth waiting for.
