Groves Bears store will temporarily relocate the business and reopen for walk-In business the week of March 29, according to Robin Wilch, store owner.
The new location will be at 123 S. Main St., which is the former Wright's store. The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) has used that building as its office during the streetscape project.
"Please feel free to stop in prior to our official re-opening to say hello and see our new store. We begin moving on March 22," said Wilch. "It will take at least a week to clean and move our inventory into the new store. The new store is much smaller than our building, so it's going to take longer to organize for smaller areas."
She said that repairs to the existing building at 204 N. Main St., will take approximately four months to complete. Groves' telephone number, 419-358-8559 will remain the same.
"Thank you so much for understanding our misfortune and we miss everybody and can't wait to see all our valued friends and customers again," said Wilch. "Please note that we have an e-commerce website and we sell on E-bay. If you want to shop on line, we are open 24-7 for Internet sales. The business website is: http://www.grovesbears.com/
