History
Old Time Pottery was founded in 1986 by Jack Peterson in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. It initially only sold pottery items but later expanded to include other home décor and furniture products.[1]
In June 2020, Old Time Pottery filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, blaming the COVID-19 pandemic. The company announced the closure of some of its locations in an effort to restructure its debt.[2] In April 2023, the home merchandise chain was acquired by Gabe's, an off-price retailer headquartered in Morgantown, West Virginia.
