An east Columbus lumberyard and hardware store is closing.
Kansas City-based Sutherlands Lumber Co. is winding down business at its store at 575 N. Nelson Road, near Bexley. A spokeswoman would not confirm the last day of operation, but said the company plans to reopen at a new location in Central Ohio, though no location has been found yet.
Family-run Sutherlands has 57 stores in 13 states, primarily in Texas and surrounding states. Central Ohio is home to two additional stores at 2590 Clime Road in southwest Columbus and in Circleville, but otherwise the market is a geographic outlier for the chain, whose next closest store is in Hannibal, Mo.
The spokeswoman said there are no plans to close the other stores and leave Ohio.
