Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block] Principles of consolidation — The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of Kirkland’s, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Kirkland’s Stores, Inc., Kirkland’s DC, Inc., and Kirkland’s Texas, LLC. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Basis of Accounting, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Basis of presentation — The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and are presented in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and pursuant to the reporting and disclosure rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments, including normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on May 2, 2025.

 

Seasonality [Policy Text Block] Seasonality — The results of the Company’s operations for the 13-week period ended May 3, 2025 are not indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or for the entire fiscal year due to seasonality factors.
Fiscal Period, Policy [Policy Text Block] Fiscal year — The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to January 31, resulting in years of either 52 or 53 weeks. Accordingly, fiscal 2025 represents the 52 weeks ending on January 31, 2026, and fiscal 2024 represents the 52 weeks ended on February 1, 2025.
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Use of estimates — The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions used. It should be understood that accounting measurements at interim dates inherently involve greater reliance on estimates than those at fiscal year-end.

 

Changes in estimates are recognized in the period when new information becomes available to management. Areas where the nature of the estimate makes it reasonably possible that actual results could materially differ from amounts estimated include, but are not limited to, impairment assessments on long-lived assets, inventory reserves, self-insurance reserves and deferred tax asset valuation allowances.

Going Concern Assessment and Management's Plans [Policy Text Block]

Going concern assessment and managements plans — The Company’s revenues, results of operations and cash flows have been materially adversely impacted by strategic and macroeconomic factors during the last several fiscal years. The persistently challenging home furnishings retail environment, including reduced consumer spending in the category and increased price sensitivity, has significantly impacted the Company’s performance and liquidity levels. Operating loss and negative cash flows from operations continue to reduce the Company’s liquidity levels. For the 13-week period ended May 3, 2025, the Company reported a net loss of $11.8 million and net cash used in operating activities of $3.1 million compared to a net loss of $8.8 million and net cash used in operating activities of $13.7 million in the prior year period. Further, as of June 17, 2025, the Company had no availability for borrowing, after the minimum required excess availability covenant, under the revolving credit facility.

 

When conditions and events, in the aggregate, raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, management evaluates the mitigating effect of its plans to determine if it is probable that the plans will be effectively implemented within the assessment period and, when implemented, will mitigate the relevant conditions and events to alleviate substantial doubt. The Company’s plans are focused on improving its operating results and liquidity through sales growth, cost reductions and additional financing. Throughout fiscal 2024 and 2025, the Company implemented expense reductions to streamline its cost structure and improve its liquidity profile. The Company believes these actions are necessary as part of improving its profitability and liquidity trajectory, while minimizing any disruption to the Company’s focus on its strategic initiatives and the overall customer experience. The cost-savings initiatives included a reduction in corporate overhead, store payroll, marketing and third-party technology expenses. During the 13-week period ended May 3, 2025, the Company received $8.0 million from Beyond, Inc. (“Beyond”) to purchase shares of common stock, and subsequent to quarter end, the Company received $5.0 million from Beyond as part of an additional $5.2 million term loan. 

 

The Company’s going concern assessment includes the preparation of cash flow forecasts considering the completed financing transactions, annualized savings from cost-savings initiatives and the impact on profitability and cash flow from operations related to both the current elevated tariffs and the likelihood of challenging macroeconomic conditions that further constrain consumer demand, and these factors collectively suggest insufficient liquidity in the near-term. Due to these uncertainties and the consequences they may have on the projected cash flow in the near-term, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least 12 months from the date of issuance of the consolidated financial statements.

 

As of February 1, 2025, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants in the revolving credit facility and the Beyond Credit Agreement (as defined below). However, the Company’s conclusion that substantial doubt exists about its ability to continue as a going concern required an explanatory paragraph in the report of the independent registered public accounting firm on the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2025, which resulted in a violation of affirmative covenants under the revolving credit facility and the Beyond Credit Agreement on May 2, 2025, when the fiscal 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K was filed with the SEC. On May 7, 2025, subsequent to the end of the first fiscal quarter of 2025, the Company received waivers from the lenders under both facilities. As such, the Company has classified the outstanding borrowings under these agreements as long-term debt on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of May 3, 2025, while most of the Company’s debt was recorded as current as of February 1, 2025.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments or charges that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern, such as charges related to impairment of the Company’s assets, the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities or other similar adjustments.
