According to NBC affiliate WFMJ, no date for the last business day has been announced.
A sign saying “Everything must go” was hanging on the store to alert people to the closure.
According to the sign, only the Salem location will be closed.
Items in the store were reduced by 10 to 30%.
Customers can still visit True Value Hardware in North Lima – about 20 minutes east of Salem – or Champion Township, about 44 minutes north of Salem.
The US Sun has asked True Value for comment.
ANOTHER CLOSURE
True Value is not the only store to close recently in Ohio.
Shoney’s, a popular restaurant chain founded in 1947, is closing its location in Dover, Ohio – just two hours from Columbus.
No firm date for the closure has been announced.
The location employs 25 people, some of whom have been there since the restaurant opened, according to Mike Watson, the store manager, the Times reporter said.
“It was a pretty good place,” he told the outlet.
He had worked at this location for 18 years.
Dover Shoney’s owner Nick Hussein has decided to reduce the number of his restaurants, according to Watson.
Watson believes this is the reason for the site’s closure.
History of True Value
In 1948, John Cotter founded Cotter & Company, a retail company with 25 independent stores.
In 1963, the company purchased Hibbard, Spencer and Bartlett, which also gave it the True Value brand.
True Value is a brand that has been present since 1932.
Today, the hardware company is one of the world’s leading wholesalers with a globally recognized brand and supplies customers in over 60 countries.
True Value has 4,500 stores nationwide and around 2,500 True Value employees.
According to the true value
Once Shoney’s closes, foodies will have to leave the state to visit another location.
The closest location is in Pennsylvania, or there are several options in West Virginia.
Shoney’s has stores throughout the South, including in Alabama, Tennessee and South Carolina.
The first location was in Charleston, West Virginia, according to the website.
After the restaurant closes, it will be offered for sale in an online auction.
The online auction for the Shoney’s location ends on August 22nd.
