Remember Party City @ Woodhill Mall, a few doors down from what seems to be the most popular Target store on earth? Well, they’ve moved the party down the hill a little, sort of…
I got a tip from a buddy of mine named Rob, so of course, I wanted to check what the kids say, “Actually?” Since school was out because of large breezes flowing throughout our state, the twins and I headed to Staples on our way to their playdate.
Sure ’nuff, the helpful gentleman explained that this was a nationwide move within select stores. He said they had supplies in the back, ready to be put on display in the near future.
Here’s what the Googles say about the move.
Party City and Staples are launching a “store-within-a-store” concept inside select Staples locations following its bankruptcy. This initiative, starting in late 2025, places smaller Party City shops inside Staples stores, selling balloons and decorations. This strategic partnership allows the retailer to return to physical retail, with a rollout expected to continue into 2026.
Concept: Party City operates as a “store-within-a-store” in Staples locations, focusing on convenience and smaller footprints.
Availability: The rollout began late 2025, with locations already identified in New Jersey, California, and Massachusetts
Ownership: After filing for bankruptcy, Party City was acquired by New Amscan PC LLC in early 2025, which then partnered with Staples.
Goal: This move saves the brand from complete closure, offering a new avenue for growth while filling space in Staples locations with high-margin items.

From a little research, it looks like they are trying to roll out as many collabs as they can before graduation season hits. That all said, I know where Open House balloons will be coming from now!
