Party City to close 45 stores as global helium shortage hits company sales
New Jersey-based Party City plans to close 45 stores, citing in part a global helium shortage that has cost the company sales of metallic and latex balloons.

Headquartered in Rockaway, the chain has about 900 retail stores in the United States and Canada, including 28 across New Jersey. The company has not announced which stores will close.

It's a conspiracy I tell you!

I'm sure that The Holy Bible and Nostradamus knew all about this.

The end is near.

Re: Party City to close 45 stores as global helium shortage hits company sales
There was a helium shortage about 10 years ago I remember we couldn't use balloons to decorate with where I work for a year. I thought that's strange a helium shortage?
So has this been a ongoing problem for years?

Helium shortage?

Maybe because helium is used for welding it's being held back from those who are making bombs with it?

Just because there is a shortage of people willing to supply helium does NOT mean earth "used up all the helium."

I went to Party City last week, not for balloons but catering supplies for a party I am helping with. I noticed the stock is dwindling and not like it used to be.

This is sad. I hope the one near me is not affected.

Dollar Store has the same stuff... for a dollar.

Party City used to carry elaborate Halloween Costumes but no one does Halloween anymore. It's just too Halmark Holiday canned bullshit.

Even the Christian Bookstore chain by me is closing because most people shop online and there is just no market for the things people did in the 1900's.

2000's is about necessity, war prep, comfortable practical clothes, hanging out at home and buying things for comfort, and eating better foods.

Times change.

 Quoting: MissCleo


Helium was a very important strategic material for military purposes, and nuclear research. The Federal government subsidized the expensive separation and storage of it from natural gas. Once it was removed as a strategic material, the subsidies were not there. Good news is there is still plenty of hydrogen. That will make birthday parties interesting in the future.
