While many people will be heading to the shore or attending barbecues this weekend, a smarter idea may be to take a ride to your nearest Sports Authority.

According to Today.com, the company will kick off a huge going-out-of-business sale this weekend. The sale is expected to run through August, the show's hosts noted. 

News of Sports Authority's plan to close all 463 of its stores comes a few months after the company reportedly filed for bankruptcy protection.

Its attempts to restructure its debt have since failed, forcing its closure.
