Anyone see where Modell's Sporting Goods(since 1889) faltered earlier this year & sought protection? I believe this to be the same Modells

You are correct Raimey. The recent Modells and the Henry Modell store circa 1900 is the same organization. Just some corporate name changes over the years. My time in the sporting goods industry brought me close to these guys. They liked their history.
