Rebuilding Springfield
|
We closed our temporary Chicopee location and reopened in the new Springfield store on Monday, June 26th, 2000. 
Our new facility at 274 Taylor Street is only a block away from our former Springfield home on Worthington Street. Due to our devastating fire in July of 1998, we had the opportunity to build a new state-of-the-art facility (designed by Associated Builders, Inc) for our main branch in Springfield. June, 2000. The building is complete.
