Columbia Sportswear Co. is suing Stuart and Kimberly Utgaard, owners of Sportsman's Warehouse, which filed for bankruptcy on March 22. Filed in Oregon's U.S. District Court, the suit claims that Columbia
Sportswear sold Sportsman's “a considerable amount of product and merchandise”
totaling $600,000 on credit that has not been paid, according to the Oregonian.
The suit claims Columbia holds a personal guaranty signed by the Utgaards in 1998 that enables it to get paid before other unsecured creditors. The suit asks for the $600,000 along with attorney's fees association with the filing.
