History

Founded in 1979 with one store in Schertz, Texas, the brand was created as Garden Ridge Pottery and was later renamed to simply Garden Ridge. In 2014, the company converted all stores to the At Home retail concept, repainting everything from orange to grey. The company currently operates more than 80 stores in 21 states across the U.S.

AEA Investors acquired Garden Ridge in October 2011.

Prior to this, the chain was privately held by Three Cities Research. Garden Ridge declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 2004 due to failed lease negotiations and underwent major reorganization closing ten stores in Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Florida, Ohio, and Tennessee. After restructuring, the corporation emerged from Chapter 11 in 2005.

Texas

Texas /ˈtɛksəs/ (Spanish: Texas or Tejas [ˈtexas]) is a state in the United States of America. It is the second most populous and second largest state by area in the US. Geographically located in the south central part of the country, Texas shares an international border with Mexico to the south and borders the states of New Mexico to the west, Oklahoma to the north, Arkansas to the northeast, and Louisiana to the east. Texas has an area of 268,820 square miles (696,200 km²) and a growing population of over 27.5 million residents (July 2015).

Houston is the largest city in Texas and the fourth-largest in the United States, while San Antonio is the second largest in the state and seventh largest in the United States. Dallas–Fort Worth and Greater Houston are the fourth and fifth largest United States metropolitan statistical areas, respectively. Other major cities include Austin (the state capital) and El Paso. Texas is nicknamed the Lone Star State to signify Texas as a former independent republic, and as a reminder of the state's struggle for independence from Mexico. The "Lone Star" can be found on the Texan state flag and on the Texan state seal. The origin of the state name, Texas, is from the word, "Tejas", which means 'friends' in the Caddo language.
