U.S.-based outdoor and firearms equipment supplier Big Rock Sports has decided to file for bankruptcy due to a debt burden exceeding $100 million. The 71-year-old company will cease operations, and its assets will be liquidated and distributed to creditors.
US-based outdoor and firearms equipment supplier Big Rock Sports has filed for bankruptcy protection, unable to cope with its heavy debt burden. According to court documents, the company has decided to cease all commercial activities and has entered the liquidation process to pay creditors with its assets.
DEBTS OUTWEIGH ASSETS
Financial records submitted to the court indicate that Big Rock Sports' total assets are between $10 million and $50 million, while its debts exceed $100.9 million. The company is reportedly facing significant cash pressure due to lawsuits filed by property owners, suppliers, and business partners. It is estimated that approximately $83 million in unsecured receivables will be uncollectible.
SUPPLYING THOUSANDS OF RETAILERS IN 8 COUNTRIES
Following the announcement of the bankruptcy process, the company's website was also taken offline. It is known that Big Rock Sports supplies over 20,000 retailers across a wide range of products, from fishing gear to camping equipment, and from shooting products to marine equipment. The company operates in 8 countries, including Canada and the Caribbean, in addition to the US, and was working with approximately 1,200 suppliers.
GIANT LOGISTICS NETWORK SHUTTING DOWN
With large-scale distribution centers located in North Carolina, Minnesota, and Nevada, the company managed a total warehouse area of approximately 850,000 square feet, positioning itself among North America's leading outdoor product distributors. With the bankruptcy decision, it has been announced that all of these operations will be halted.
71-YEAR ADVENTURE
The foundations of Big Rock Sports date back to All-Sports Supply, established in 1955 in Portland, Oregon. Over the years, the company has gained a significant place in the industry thanks to strong partnerships with retailers, and it had liquidated its Canadian subsidiary before filing for bankruptcy in the US. Rising costs, an increasing debt burden, and a series of legal processes have made its extensive distribution network unsustainable, leading this 71-year industry giant to withdraw from the market.
