Management could not be reached for comment, but a note posted on the company’s Facebook page confirmed the closing.
“It has been a tough road the last few years with all the changes on how people shop. After great thought all I want to say to everyone out there who bought something whether it was last month or ten years ago… I would like to say thank you!!!! I consider myself very fortunate to have got as far as I did…I have met a lot of people over the years and employed hundreds over that same time.. I made people’s birthdays, anniversary’s, graduations and of course Christmas. Wilks Dugout touched a lot of lives, again thank you all!!!!!”
