NORMAN, Okla. – After filing for bankruptcy, a popular entertainment shop will be closing its doors.

The Enid News & Eagle reports that Hastings Entertainment will close all of its stores by Oct. 31.

Hastings released the following statement to KFDX:

“Five weeks ago, Hastings filed for Chapter 11 protection with the goal of expediting our search for a buyer that would help us complete our remerchandising strategy and position our business for long-term success. At the completion of the sale process yesterday, the winning buyer was a joint venture that will instead oversee a liquidation of our stores to ensure we are maximizing the value of all of our remaining merchandise and assets as we prepare to close. All Hastings stores, our e-Commerce business and our corporate office will all discontinue operations at the end of this process. On Friday, July 22, the Bankruptcy Court is expected to approve our agreement with the companies who will oversee our store closing sales, Hilco Merchant Resources LLC and Gordon Brothers Retail Partners LLC. We thank our customers and employees for their loyalty over the years, and we hope to see our customers at store closing sales.”

Hastings Entertainment has stores in cities like Ardmore, Norman, Ponca City, Stillwater and Yukon, among others.
