Sports Authority closing all stores, including Assembly Row

[ron_newman]

from CNN: Sports Authority to close all remaining stores. They tried and failed to find a buyer after declaring Chapter 11 bankruptcy. They have not yet announced when the going-out-of-business sale will begin.

This comes just a few months after City Sports went bankrupt and closed all of its stores.

Looks like Trader Joes will be taking over the space:

The ACMoore craft store next door to Sports Authority is closing too. (I asked an employee after seeing the 'liquidation sale' signs in the window. )

Any idea why? I haven't heard anything about that chain closing down.
