After filing for Chapter 11, it liquidated all of its U.S. stores.

Stores will be offering clearance prices on the items starting Friday, April 24. The Container Store will also be opening an hour early on April 25-26, giving early birds an extra 5 percent discount.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a reset with purpose,\u201d said Jen Pape, senior vice president of stores at The Container Store, in a release. \u201cWe are actively reshaping our stores to make room for what\u2019s next.
