VESTAL, N.Y. — Home Central, a local hardware and home-improvement retail-store operator, recently reopened its Vestal store after a long rebuilding process following a fire that struck 14 months earlier.
The Home Central team held a grand reopening and ribbon-cutting event at the rebuilt store on Friday, April 2.
The Vestal property was extensively damaged by a fire in early February 2020. The blaze resulted in a complete loss of the warehouse and its contents, but the retail portion of the store was relatively undamaged thanks to the work of local firefighters, Home Central said in a release.
Home Central’s new and improved building boasts a larger warehouse and retail space, in addition to a building-material showcase area.
Home Central, which is affiliated with True Value, also has stores in Owego and Candor.
