Layaway is a payment program allows you to put down a deposit on an item to hold it for future purchase. You do not get to take the item home right away, but it is yours once you complete all of the necessary payments. Layaway is also a convenient financing option for those with bad credit or no credit history because it typically does not require a credit check. Not all retailers offer layaway, but we’ve found a variety of retailers that do, listed below, including information about deposit and payment requirements. We’ve also included a list of stores that don’t offer layaway but do offer other forms of financing.

What We Recommend

For the widest selection of layaway shopping terms — including both in-store and online options — consider shopping at Kmart or Sears. At these stores, you can put items on layaway for a small down payment, and you can use layaway for items like clothing, jewelry, furniture, home goods, toys, etc.

The List

For specific information about furniture stores that offer layaway, we list the furniture stores with layaway plans. We’ve also compiled the list with more in-depth information about jewelry stores that offer layaway.

See the table for the list of stores with layaway, then follow the links provided or scroll for further details. We’ve ordered the list below starting with the best overall store options in terms of selection, layaway availability, and payment terms.

    Does anyone know if Carter’s has a layaway program?

      Hi Brittany,

      Carter’s doesn’t offer layaway. You might try checking you some of these other stores that sell baby clothes and do offer layaway: Baby Depot, Kmart, and Walmart.

    Thank you everyone for this valuable information. This really helps people on a tight budget that want to get the popular items for their children or grandchildren when they don’t have the money all at once. My daughter-in-law was just talking about it the other day to prepare for Christmas and I told her about K-Mart and all she knew of was Wal-Mart. We are farmers, so pay day don’t come that often for us either. Our pay day is seasonal, so this is a very good thing for us as well. It is also a good thing for people w/out much time, because the Holidays are so hectic and no one has any time to shop, because of everything else going on and the fact that Thanksgiving and Christmas are so close together as well. Thank you for posting all that valuable information.

      Hi Stacie,

      Thanks for your feedback, glad we could help! There are certainly lots of stores that offer layaway, and even if a store doesn’t, they often have other financing options available.

  • Sonya

    I visited a couple of Home Goods stores in Alexandria, VA and they all said they didn’t do layaway nor have they heard of any of their stores offering this service .

      | 7 years ago

      Hi Sonya,

      Thanks for catching that. I spoke with Home Goods customer service this morning and they do not have a layaway program. They may have had one in the past, as the privacy policy on their website does reference “layaway requests” but they don’t currently have one. I have removed them from the list. Thanks again for fact checking us, we always appreciate getting this kind of feedback from our readers. 🙂

      Hi Janea,

      You’re absolutely right! I apologize for that oversight on our part. I reached out to a Foot Locker representative to confirm all the relevant details and I’ve updated the article accordingly. Thank you for bringing this to our attention!

  • Tammy Ash
    | 8 years ago

    i have been trying for 2 weeks at kmart and sears. But there online layaway is not working. I have spoke to customer service several times. Each time they say they are working on it and try again in 24 hours. Ive tried every day and it doesnt work so know the items are no longer available. The whole reason I do layaway is because I am diabled. I have used Kmart and Sears every and at least 10years since my accident. I would love to know if they are going to fix the problem.

      Hi Tammy,

      I’m sorry to hear about the trouble you’ve had with the layaway at Kmart and Sears! Unfortunately, the only thing I can recommend is that you keep talking to the customer service at these stores and hopefully the issue will be resolved soon.

    Furniture Mart does not offer layaway and American freight only offers in store.

    • First Quarter Finance logo
      First Quarter Finance | Hillary M. Miller
      | 8 years ago

      Hi Charli,

      According to the Furniture Mart financing page, it looks like layaway is one of the available payment options. You’re right that American Freight’s layaway program is only in-store — I’ve corrected the article to reflect this. I apologize for any confusion and thank you for letting us know!

      • Charli

        Np dearie. I wish more reputable places had online layaway like Kmart and Sears and were no so expensive. But I did find your article very informative, so thank you!

          Hi Charli,

          We worked hard to track down all the stores that we could, but you can always share with us here if you come across any others! Glad to hear that you found the article helpful, and thanks again for writing in!

    Awesome list and thank you for creating it! I just wanted to comment that I have read elsewhere that while Gamestop doesnt offer Layaway that they do offer a sort of Layaway when it comes to purchasing Game Systems, a payment plan I guess. And I also know that you can pre-order games that are not released yet and make payments on them until the release date, which isnt layaway either, its also more of a payment plan but I just thought those things would be useful to note in a list like this, since people needing/wanting layaway may also consider options such as these and no credit is needed. You get the product when you pay it off just like Layaway… thanks again. I hope this is helpful.

      Hi Rachel,

      That’s great information, thank you for sharing it! It’s always good to learn about another store that offers different types of payment options. Maybe in the future we’ll have a whole post dedicated to “not-quite-layaway” payment plans. I’m glad you found the article useful and thanks again for writing in!
