“We are pleased to have received this $5 million inventory-based financing commitment from a reputable institution such as Wells Fargo,” stated Hacketts CEO, Norman Garrelts. Hacketts, which was recently acquired by WiseBuys Stores, Inc., will be the surviving entity with all of the WiseBuys stores to be converted to and operated under the “Hacketts” brand. “With this line of credit arrangement,” added Mr. Garrelts, “Hacketts should have a vehicle to initiate the repayment of certain debt, help with transitioning the existing WiseBuys stores to Hacketts stores and begin the exploration of possible new locations. Having Wells Fargo as a partner further validates our efforts and ensures that sufficient capital should be available to Hacketts as the company takes advantage of those expansion opportunities.”
After the store conversions, Hacketts will operate nine locations, including Canton, Gouverneur, Hamilton, Massena, Ogdensburg, Potsdam, Pulaski, Tupper Lake, and Watertown -- all in New York.
