By Home Furnishings Business in Retail Closings on April 26, 2011 Texas youth furniture and accessories retailer Lone Star Baby & Kids will close two stores and consolidate operations at its flagship store in Frisco.

This summer, Lone Star is closing its Dallas and North Richland Hills stores.

"The reason for closing our Dallas and North Richland Hills locations is two-fold," said Lone Star Baby & Kids President Michael Schaul. "The economic conditions over the past few years have had a direct impact on our business; and with our leases expiring, we felt the timing was right to consolidate with our Flagship store."

The consolidation process and liquidation sale is being managed by Profit Management Promotions(http://www.pmpsales.com/) of Jamison, Pa.

"With the expiration of store leases, Lone Star realized the benefit of consolidating locations. Their plan is to regroup, retrench and enhance customer services and product selection at their flagship store," said Ron Cooper of PMP. "We feel they are moving in the right direction and look forward to their impending success at their flagship location."

The Lone Star Baby liquidation sale starts April 28, and runs through the end of June, with more than $3 million in inventory on sale. Both stores will close permanently by mid-summer.
