Sportsman’s Warehouse to close two valley stores

Sportsman’s Warehouse, a Utah-based chain of outdoors stores, will shutter 23 locations including one in Las Vegas and one in Henderson.

According to the company’s Web site, the chain plans to liquidate the 23 stores to reduce debt and sell the remaining 15 locations to UFA Co-operative Limited of Alberta.

The company didn’t announce when the stores would close and president and CEO Stuart Utgaard did not return a call for comment.

With a headquarters in Midvale, Utah, the chain offers hunting, fishing, camping and other outdoors gear.

The Las Vegas location is near the intersection of Centennial Center Boulevard and Ann Road. It employs about 65 workers, according to an employee who said he was not authorized to speak on the record.

The Henderson store is on Lake Mead Parkway near U.S. Highway 95.
