Altmeyer’s Bed, Bath and Home is closing its store in Point Plaza in Butler Township, ending its connection to the county that began in the 1950s.
The store’s space in the plaza is being leased to another business, and no other suitable locations in the plaza were available, said Robert Altmeyer, company president.
“So, unfortunately, we have to leave the Butler area,” Altmeyer said Monday.
A closing sale in which merchandise will be deeply discounted begins Tuesday. The plan is to close the store by mid-August, but the date depends on when the merchandise is sold, he said. The store will be open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday until it closes.
“The whole store is going on sale (Tuesday),” Altmeyer said. “We’re deeply discounting everything because we’d rather sell it than move it.”
He said he did not have a formal lease for the store with the plaza owners, but the agreement they have allows either side to end their relationship after providing three months notice.
