These are the 76 Leslie's Pool locations closing as part of Chapter 11

Leslie’s Pools filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy on Sept. 30 and plans to close 76 stores.

The company detailed the filing in a document posted on the SEC’s website.

“On September 30, 2026, Leslie’s, Inc.and its subsidiaries Leslie’s Poolmart, Inc., Cortz, Inc., LPM Manufacturing, Inc., Horizon Spa & Pool Parts, Inc., Hot Tub Works, LLC, Pool Parts, Inc., RAM Chemical & Supply, Inc., SPP Holding Corporation and Stellar Manufacturing, LLC filed voluntary petitions under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas to implement a pre-arranged chapter 11 plan of reorganization,” it shared.

The company has entered into a Restructuring Support Agreement (RSA) with a group of its existing lenders to reorganize its business.

“The RSA includes commitments for $90 million of new-money debtor-in-possession (DIP) financing and a $60 million equity financing, with the equity financing fully backstopped by certain of the RSA parties, and a reduction of approximately $685 million, or 90%, of the company’s outstanding funded debt,” the company shared in a press release.

As part of the company’s reorganization plan, it will be shutting down 76 stores. Those locations were not shared in the press release, but they are included in the bankruptcy filing on PacerMonitor.

Leslie’s isn’t going out of business

CEO Jason McDonell tried to reassure customers that the chain would not be shutting down.

“Leslie’s is here to stay, and I am deeply grateful to our employees, customers, and partners for their continued support as we work to position Leslie’s for a strong future,” he said in the press release.

He insisted that, aside from the store closures, operations would continue as usual.

“Importantly, Leslie’s remains fully operational and committed to serving customers without interruption, including through its physical stores and digital platforms,” the company shared.

Leslie’s will still be accepting gift cards, returns, and store credit.

The company faces a challenging road back, according to RTM Nexus CEO Dominick Miserandino

He thinks that Leslie’s has lost an important advantage as more consumers can easily find the products it sells online and at mass retailers.

“Leslie’s has a tough problem because a lot of what it sells simply isn’t hard to find anymore. That puts a lot of pressure on Leslie’s to justify why the customer needs them. The expertise and service still have value, particularly when something goes wrong with a pool, but that’s a much narrower advantage than simply being the place where people buy pool supplies,” he told TheStreet.

Leslie’s Chapter 11 filing: key facts

Filed Chapter 11 on Sept. 30, 2026, in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas.

$1.21 billion in liabilities versus $722.2 million in assets at filing, according to the bankruptcy petition.

$685 million of funded debt will be eliminated, roughly 90% of outstanding funded debt, under the restructuring agreement with lenders.

$90 million in new-money DIP financing will help fund operations during Chapter 11, plus $60 million in equity financing.

Creditors will take control of the company through the restructuring, with existing lenders supporting the prearranged deal. More than 80% of existing lenders supported the restructuring agreement.

The operating business had already deteriorated sharply before the filing. Leslie’s reported fiscal Q3 2026 sales of $458.5 million, down 8.4%, while comparable sales fell 6.2%. For the first nine months, sales were $790.4 million, down 7.3%. The company attributed the decline primarily to lower store traffic and transactions, a softer summer pool season and store closures.

Leslie’s had 943 company-operated locations in 38 states as of July 4, 2026, along with e-commerce websites.

The company said the retail environment remained challenging, citing reduced and delayed consumer spending in pool and spa care and increased consumer price sensitivity after persistent inflation. Those conditions contributed to “substantial doubt” about its ability to continue as a going concern.Sources: PacerMonitor, Leslie’s press release, Leslie’s Q3 earnings report
