(Chico) True Value Hardware and Holiday Pools are coming to the rescue of north Chico residents faced with the loss of Orchard Supply Hardware. No sooner had OSH announced it was closing its East Avenue location, when True Value Hardware and Holdiay Pools secured a a large retail location across the street in the Towne and Country Shopping Center.
Owner/Operators Gary Powers and Leland Stockwell expect the two businesses to be up and running by March in a 10,000 square foot unit at 230 W. East Ave. just to the left of Rite Aid. This will be a new store for True Value Hardware and a relocation for Holiday Pools, which currently operates in the Fairview Center next to Spitiri's at East and Cohasset. The lease was handled by Mike Donnelly and Carrie Welch of Coldwell Banker Commercial Northern California Retail Division.
