OLEAN, N.Y. — Buffalo-based Valu Home Centers will shutter three of its chain outlets in the Southern Tier and Pennsylvania citing changing buying habits in the retailing sector.
Company officials said the underperforming stores are located in Olean, Painted Post, and Warren, Pennsylvania.
“This was a difficult and emotional decision for our family because we have operated these stores for many years in communities that we have come to know and love.” said Valu president and CEO Michael Ervolina Jr. “And while our remaining 38 locations are strong, it was important to make this decision in order to keep our business healthy well into the future.”
