WASILLA The Wasilla Sports Authority store will be closed by the fall if not earlier as part of a bankruptcy liquidation process the struggling national retailer entered into this week for its remaining 300 outlets.
Once the nation’s largest sporting goods retailer, Colorado-based Sports Authority filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in early March with the stated hopes of closing some 140 under-performing stores and reorganizing its remaining business with the 300 outlets that remained.
The winning bid for the companys assets were liquidators that plan to sell the companys merchandise in going out of business sales.
