The chain’s website now says its remaining Oregon store, on Northwest Couch Street in Portland’s Pearl District, will close at the end of September.
Sur La Table opened its first location in 1972 at Seattle’s Pike Place Market. The chain is among a string of large retailers, among them J.Crew, Neiman Marcus, J.C. Penney and Brooks Brothers, that have filed for bankruptcy during the coronavirus pandemic.
Many of those brick-and-mortar retailers were under severe pressure even before COVID-19, facing competition from online retailers and changing consumer tastes.

While it's hard to know if Williams-Sonoma's higher-priced wares last longer, Sur la Table sometimes has better prices on the same cookware. Williams-Sonoma sells a Le Creuset six-piece set for $549.95. Sur la Table offers it for $495.
No, both Williams-Sonoma and Sur la Table are lifestyle stores where you are likely to know more about the product you are buying than the staff does. Places like Le Sanctuaire sell actual high-end products (pacojet, immersion circulators, non-Rachael Ray books, great spices, etc).
