Wilsons Leather

Wilsons Leather, a retailer known for its leather belts, shoes, handbags, gloves, and, most notably, jackets, is stepping up its game. Wilson Leather stores dwindled from more than 700 locations in the United States and Canada in the early 2000s. As a result, parent company G-III Apparel Group decided to close the last of them. G-III is also closing its 89 G.H. Bass shoe and apparel stores. DKNY, Donna Karan, Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger, and Karl Lagerfeld are the company’s “five global power brands,” according to the company.

Olympia Sports

For half of the Olympia Sports stores, the game was over in 2020. This is a regional sporting goods retailer with locations throughout New England, New York, and the East Coast. Last year, the company was acquired by JackRabbit, a retailer of sneakers, exercise equipment, and athletic apparel with locations across the United States. Because the deal excluded 76 of Olympia Sports’ more than 150 locations, liquidation sales began in November 2019 and continued into the new year.
