History
Anna's Linens was a U.S. retail brand specializing in discounted household goods. It was founded by Alan Gladstone in 1987 and headquartered in Costa Mesa, California. Its stores carried bedding, bath products, window treatments, and selected home décor items, using a physical-store model centered on low prices for everyday household merchandise. As competition in discount retail and home furnishings intensified, the company's financial condition deteriorated. Anna's Linens filed for bankruptcy protection in 2015 and later closed its remaining stores after restructuring efforts failed to restore the business. The brand has not continued as an operating U.S. retail chain since then.
