AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

Party City has returned to Illinois by opening shop‑in‑shop locations inside more than 700 Staples stores nationwide, with eight sites now operating in the state—including a Loop location at 111 N. Wabash Ave. and stores in Glen Ellyn, Glenview, and Shorewood—and plans to add more by year‑end. After filing for bankruptcy and closing its Chicago outlets in 2024, the retailer partnered with Staples, whose extensive national footprint and community ties made it an ideal revival partner, according to Party City owner Ad Populum’s CEO Joel Weinshanker. The new format lets Party City sell traditional party supplies such as décor, favors, tableware, gift bags, costume accessories, balloons, and more, while Staples’ print services provide banners, yard signs, posters and personalized invitations, with balloon pickups now available through Staples’ website and app. The collaboration aims to combine party‑goods convenience with Staples’ printing capabilities, a response to the e‑commerce and pop‑up competition that previously drove Party City out of business.

Party City Closure Inspires ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ Memes: “Somebody Check On Sharon Needles”

As Party City abruptly closed its US locations on Friday, 'RuPaul's Drag Race' fans reacted with an iconic Phi Phi O'Hara quote.

#Sad to hear about the #PartyCity closings next year. Now all those former #ToysRUs stores will be empty again.
Way to go, Party City. Close the business and tell everybody that the Friday before Christmas is their last day at work. #PartyCity

For some strange reason the #TrailBlazers didn't have their top scorer featured in their plug to buy season tickets.

Asking for a trade to #PartyCity & sending your agent to say stupid shit to other teams was a brilliant set of moves. I wonder if he's going to come off the bench. Scoot needs the minutes if he's going to be #ROY. A disgruntled and benched star pining for #Miami would be a great morale booster after tough games. Especially against Miami.
