History

Established in 1966 by Carl and Robert Kirkland in Jackson, Tennessee, Kirkland's initially specialized in affordable home accessory products. Robert Kirkland also played a key role in financing the well-known Discovery Park of America situated in Union City, Tennessee.

In October 2023, CreditRiskMonitor reported that Kirkland's was approaching a possible Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing. By February 2024, Amy Sullivan succeeded Steve Woodward as the company's CEO.

During the shareholder meeting held on June 26, 2024, veteran board members R. Wilson Orr, III and Steven J. Collins stepped down after not obtaining majority backing from shareholders. Amy Sullivan joined the board as a new member, Ann Joyce was re-elected and appointed Chairman, and the board size was reduced from eight to six directors.

Kirkland's revealed intentions in 2025 to rebrand itself as The Brand House Collective and to change its stock ticker symbol from "KIRK" to "TBHC," subject to approval by shareholders.

On September 15, 2025, Bed Bath & Beyond, Inc. completed the acquisition of the Kirkland's Home brand along with related assets for $10 million.

Philanthropy

Each year, the company organizes events and promotional activities supporting Camp Charley, a camp dedicated to children with critical illnesses located in Scottsville, Kentucky. Previous efforts have included contributions to ABC's Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, involvement with the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life, and producing a holiday music CD benefiting Habitat for Humanity.

Restatement

On March 17, 2005, the company disclosed a decline in quarterly earnings and announced it would revise earlier financial reports to correct errors related to lease accounting.
