JANESVILLE
A Janesville store that for decades has been a go-to for party favors, balloons, streamers—all the stuff of festivities—is having its last hurrah.
After 40 years of operations, 50-50 Factory Outlet, a party supply store at 3010 Woodlane Drive, is permanently closing, the owners of the party store company said in an announcement this week.
The owners said the Janesville store and its three other locations have struggled coming out of the COVID-19 pandemic. Its other locations are in Eau Claire, Schofield and Fond du Lac.
The company said in its announcement that the pandemic has led to prolonged product shortages and that record inflation has hampered sales at 50-50.
Owners said the Janesville store plans a liquidation sale that is slated to begin Wednesday, Sept. 28.
The sale includes all items at the store, including party accessories, school supplies and toys, novelties, and general home goods, the company said.
The store will remain open under its regular store hours Monday through Saturday during the liquidation sale, and 50-50 plans special alerts on the sale on its website, 50-50factoryoutlet.com.
