Juvesport at Lempäälä's Ideapark Files for Bankruptcy After Nine Years

Owner Juuso Papinsaari has filed for bankruptcy at the Pirkanmaa District Court, bringing to an end nine years of business for Juvesport at Ideapark in Lempäälä, Tamperelainen reports.

On the shop's Facebook page Papinsaari wrote, "everything ends eventually, and so does our story. Unfortunately not all things get a happy ending." He said the shop will continue serving customers for an unspecified period.

Juvesport was founded in 2017 as a family-run retailer of sports equipment and bicycles. It became known especially for serving racket sports and ice sports players.

The bankruptcy follows a string of recent collapses in the region, including the Löytötex retail chain the Löytötex bankruptcy and Pirkanmaa fashion firm Besign the Besign filing.
