The CEO has issued a statement
www.idealhome.co.ukAnswer: It appears there were widespread US closures and a bankruptcy filing for Wren Kitchens’ US operations in April 2026, with all showrooms and Home Depot Studio locations shut and staff laid off. Local coverage and UK outlets reported the closures and bankruptcy details, leaving many customers uncertain about orders and refunds.[2][3][4]

Customers and employees were affected, with notices indicating closures and limited or no severance in some reports.[4][2]
- Why it mattered for customers: The closures disrupted orders in progress and raised questions about refunds or assurances for deposits. Some outlets noted potential WARN Act concerns due to abrupt layoffs.[5][2]
- UK perspective: Wren Kitchens remains a UK-based company, with the US step being a separate bankruptcy filing for its US subsidiary. UK coverage emphasized the US shutdown while suggesting UK operations were not announced as closed.[3][5]
