Tuesday Morning is back in town. An 800-store chain out of Dallas, Tuesday Morning specializes in manufacturers’ closeouts, and like closeouts, its stores come and go–it had one in Woodland Plaza in the 1990s, and in Glencoe Crossing in the 2000s. The latest iteration, in Carpenter Plaza, was itself relocated from Detroit.
While its business model resembles Big Lots, Tuesday Morning stores are a lot smaller than Big Lots and carry a higher grade of merchandise, heavy on kitchen appliances, bedding, garden implements, party goods, and candles.
Tuesday Morning corporate didn’t return a call or an email; it seems they’ve been pretty busy over there since being bought by a hedge fund in 2012. The company has changed leadership twice and is fighting a discrimination lawsuit by fired CEO Kathleen Mason.
Tuesday Morning, 3140 Carpenter Rd. (Carpenter Plaza), (248) 539-8088. Mon.-Sat. 9 a.m.-8 p.m., Sun. noon-6 p.m. tuesdaymorning.com
