THE FOLLOWING IS A NEWS-GAZETTE STORY BY JENNIFER BAILEY
ABOVE: Greenhouse Megastore on Eastgate Drive in Danville plans to stay open under a new owner after its parent company, BFG Supply Co., filed for bankruptcy.
DANVILLE — Greenhouse Megastore’s parent company, BFG Supply Co., has filed for bankruptcy, but the Danville facility has no plans to close.
Operations manager Rick Spencer said “it probably will take us a little bit of time to deal with all the issues” and added that “there will be a new owner.”
“We’re to stay open,” Spencer said, adding that the business anticipates being even stronger in the future and “new and improved.”
BFG Supply Company LLC filed a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification notice on Aug. 24 announcing plans to lay off 35 employees at its facility at 70 Eastgate Drive, Danville, effective Oct. 25.
However, Spencer said they are not expecting layoffs — or to close at all.
