Sir Creep 7,070 Posted July 22, 2016 Hastings Entertainment has set the closure all of its stores in a liquidation, according to court documents filed this week. The retail chain — which sells everything from DVDs and Blu-rays, books, CDs, toys, T-shirts and other collectibles — is planning a series of clearance sales at all of its locations. That sale is set to end Oct. 31 at the latest. In June, the Amarillo-based Hastings Entertainment filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and announced it was seeking a buyer. The company found that buyer Wednesday in Hilco Merchant Resources and Gordon Brothers Retail Partners, however the joint venture looks to liquidate the stores.
