Co-owner Woodfield severs partnership before date of sale
By PHIL WRIGHT
East Oregonian
The auction to control
Hamley businesses turned
into a no-ride. For the time
being.
The Hamley western
store, cafe and steakhouse
are fixtures of Pendleton’s
downtown. Hamley own-
ers Parley Pearce and Blair
Woodfield are battling each
other in court over the future
of the businesses.
HIPO, an Idaho lim-
ited-liability
company,
bought about $1.4 million
of Hamley debt earlier this
year and planned to auc-
tion the memberships that
control the business enti-
ties Monday in Portland to
recoup that expense. But
Woodfield on Friday filed
for bankruptcy protection,
effectively blocking the sale.
“I needed to stop the sale
because of the need to pro-
tect my interests, so I filed
Chapter 11 reorganization,”
he said, “and it’s a personal
Chapter 11 reorganization.”
