U.S：84 Lumber closing seven stores

In an ongoing effort to respond to the difficulties in the construction industry, Washington County-based home building materials company 84 Lumber has closed another seven stores, the company announced this week. None of the stores is in Pennsylvania.

Company spokesman Jeff Nobers said all but one of the stores were older stores, with small footprints, in markets, "that have either matured with minimal housing starts, or that can be consolidated into other existing stores," which would make 84 Lumber's overall market presence stronger.

"In each case these stores have lost money for the past few years and upon our internal reviews are either not in markets that would become profitable even with continuing recovery, or in markets where consolidation makes sound business sense," Nobers added.

The stores to be closed include:

Macedonia, Ohio - Opened October 1961 - 15 associates - will be serviced from three other existing stores in region

Florence, Ky. - Opened October 1967 - 10 associates - will be serviced from Cleves, Ohio store

Wyoming, Mich. - Opened May 1980 - 6 Associates - exiting Michigan (last store)

Overlea, Md. - Opened September,1982 - 6 Associates - will be serviced from 5 other existing stores in region

Michigan City, Ind. - Opened August 1976 - 6 Associates - exiting the local market

Austin, Texas - Opened May 1975 - 6 Associates - will be serviced by Georgetown, Texas store and Conroe, Texas store as needed

McAllen, Texas - Opened August, 2005 - 7 Associates - exiting the local market

Nobers said the closings leave 84 Lumber with 281 stores in 35 states. He added that the company is reopening its Milton, Fla., store in early August.
