The Grenoble commercial court chose the Intersport cooperative to take over the struggling group Go Sport, judging its offer better than that of its main competitor Frasers-Sports Direct, according to a judgment delivered on Friday.

The court thus followed “the unanimous opinion of the prosecution, creditors and employees”, underlines the assistant prosecutor François Touret de Coucy in a press release. According to him, Intersport undertakes to take over “72 stores corresponding to 90% of jobs”, for a price of 35 million euros.
