Steve Mandell, who launched the chain in 1986 with a single store in East Hanover, NJ, pinned the retailer's implosion on a lack of bargains and variety at its stores — a problem he claims was created when private equity executives locked it into a large supply deal with a manufacturer they already owned for roughly 80% of its supply.
!["They [new owners] took out the top two things that made this company very special," Mandell told The Post in an exclusive interview.
"First, we were the

"Second, Party City had great variety," he added.
That changed in 2005, according to Mandell, when Party City was bought by private equity firms Berkshire Partners and Weston Presidio. They also owned the party supply manufacturer Amscan, essentially giving it a monopoly.

What’s that? Party City is suddenly closing every single store without warning? Huh. Always thought they did plenty of business. I wonder if…yep. Okay. Exactly what I thought it would be.
