History
Kirkland's was founded by Carl Kirkland and Robert Kirkland in 1966 in Jackson, Tennessee, when they began selling home accessories at low prices. Robert was also the main funder for nationally acclaimed museum and fun park, Discovery Park of America, located in Union City, Tennessee.
In October 2023, CreditRiskMonitor reported that the firm was nearing a potential Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing.[3] In February of the following year, Kirkland's announced that Steve Woodward would be replaced by Amy Sullivan as CEO.
On June 26, 2024, at the annual meeting of its shareholders, two long-time members of Kirkland's Board of Directors, R. Wilson Orr, III and Steven J. Collins, resigned after failing to receive majority support from voting shareholders.
