Yes, if a store in general as well as the furniture store that you are writing about is planning on going out of business, it can refuse to return the money that you paid for an item and offer only to provide you with store credit as opposed to giving you a full refund.
Many stores have a policy placed in clear view for its customers to see concerning its ability to refund cash or store credit for the return of purchased items.
