Of course, they offered the coveted licensed designs of current trends, but it was the ability to personalize designs or upload your own. Shindigz offered a wide variety of customizable party products unlike any other online retailer. Over 80 employees lost their job when the company closed its doors. It’s now been over a year, and it seems to be permanent.
Shindigz stated that the close is temporary. Emphasis on world, as Shindigz was one of the leading online retailers for party supplies in the United States and 55 countries. Back in 2020, in an interview with Authority Magazine, Shindigz company owner Shep Moyle stated, “bring more joy and delight to the world”, but that is nearly impossible to do during a world pandemic. So, what happened to Shindigz? Like many other sectors, the party supplies industry was brought to a halt due to Covid. In 2018, Shindigz expanded and moved its headquarters to downtown Fort Wayne, IN, and in 2019 announced plans to still maintain their original facility in South Whitley, while offering more employment opportunities. December 31, 2021, the party supply company Shindigz closed its doors after the company had been operating for almost a century.
However, and that’s a big HOWEVER, Covid is affecting those numbers, and not in a positive way. According to Yahoo Finance, the party supplies industry is supposed to grow 4.9% from now until 2026.
