Fire Destroys Warehouse of Vestal Home Central/TrueValue
On Thursday, February 13, fire destroyed the warehouse of Vestal Home Central/TrueValue Hardware on Stage Street, just north of Four Corners in Vestal. All employees were able to safely evacuate the
warehouse. There were no injuries. General Manager Ryan Rennells said they will rebuild. Until then, the Vestal employees are working at the Owego and Candor locations. The Owego Home Central store opened in the early 1970s as Home Central on Temple Street (behind the fire station), and later moved to its current location at 151 Central Avenue in Owego. The Candor Home Central has been in business for almost 40 years, and in December 2017 moved to a new facility on Rt 96 (309 Owego Road) just south of the Village of Candor.
