Winnipeg-based retail chain Warehouse One is seeking court approval to close all 128 of its stores across Canada, including its 15th Avenue location in Prince George.

In addition, the request also includes to shut down its Bootlegger storefronts, one of which has been a long-time fixture at the Pine Centre Mall.

Warehouse One, which was founded back in 1977, says all sales and exchanges will be honoured until May 13th, with the final liquidation to possibly begin after May 15th.

The company cites increased competition, operational costs, and poor sales as the reasons for the closures.
