WESTBROOK, Maine – October 31, 2019 – Olympia Sports, the prominent Maine based athletic footwear and apparel chain, has selected SB360 Capital Partners LLC (www.sb360.com), as their exclusive agent to conduct “Store Closing” sales in 76 stores. Olympia, which was recently acquired by sports retailer JackRabbit, will continue to operate its remaining 75 stores under the Olympia Sports’ banner. The 76 closing stores were not part of the acquisition.
The “Store Closing” sale starts Friday, November 1, and includes $44,000,000 of inventory from the top brands in athletic footwear and apparel. Storewide discounts will be offered on all Men’s, Women’s and Kids’ sneakers, running shoes, basketball shoes, boots, joggers, sweatpants, hoodies, sweatshirts, long and short sleeved t-shirts, coats, socks, hats, and much more.

Aaron Miller, Executive Vice President of SB360, said “Olympia Sports has been the destination store for sports enthusiasts throughout New England and beyond for decades. Because of their reputation in the markets they serve, the “Store Closing” discounts offered off Olympia’s already competitive prices will make for a very fast-paced sale.”

With liquidation pricing, Olympia’s shoppers will have an opportunity to get the best product at the lowest price.”
