East Brunswick Sports Authority Starts Going-Out-of-Business Sale

The sale will likely run through August, after which the East Brunswick store will shut down for good.

East Brunswick, NJ - It's officially closing.

The East Brunswick Sports Authority started its going-out-of-business sale Wednesday. Ads are already promoting up to 50 percent off everything in the store.

Expect to see close-out sales like this in every Sports Authority in New Jersey — and nationwide — soon, but as of now, Sports Authoritys in Wayne, Cherry Hill, Piscataway and East Brunswick are the first in the state to begin the process of going out of business. The sale will likely run through August, after which the East Brunswick store will shut down for good.
