Al’s Sporting Goods, a Utah-based retailer with three locations, announced Thursday that the company has acquired all five Bob Ward & Sons locations in Montana.

Bob Ward is a sporting goods retailer headquartered in Missoula with other stores in Bozeman, Butte, Helena and Hamilton. Al’s will take over the operations of the Montana stores, but it sounds like there will be no lay-offs and not even a name change.
