Washington Chain Downsizes

Henry Bacon Building Materids Inc., Issaquah, Wa., closed a Renton store last month with plans to close a Seattle location in the fall and expand Issaq 'ah, Bellewe and Kent locations.

"We're consolidating our operations for a lot of internal reasons, but not for financial reasons," said president Dick Carson. "It has a lot to do with other uses for the property."

The Seattle store is located on expensive waterfront property that could be used nore profitably. The Renton store was very close to the Kent store. "We can operate out of one location more efficiently," Carson noted.

Owned by Carson, his father-in-law Jack Curran and his brother-in-law, Henry Bacon is a traditional lumber yard and serves small businesses with specific needs, particularly home remodelers. Sales last year exceeded $55 million. Washington CEO magazine listed the company ll6th in sales among private companies statewide last year, up from t20thin1992.

The Puget Sound area's proliferation of "big box" warehouse stores such as Home Depot and Eagle Hardware & Garden is not a factor in the corrpany's downsizing, Carson said.
