The lumber was of poor quality, (usually warped), selection was poor and prices were high. Senior management refused to acknowledge that Home Depot and Lowe's would drive them out, until it was too late. The systems were severly outdated and slow. The changes that were made were insufficient to handle transaction processing, again due to poor systems planning on the part of the IT department. Cronyism abounded between management and staff, while employees were constantly threatened and belittled with disciplinary action.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1638967203750102584.post-35941516738853499632012-12-19T01:20:00.327-05:002012-12-19T01:20:00.327-05:00The Elyria Flea Market would close shortly after t...The Elyria Flea Market would close shortly after the roof collapsed. Also, Elyria's DIY received the short-lived green-and-yellow makeover, also housing the 'dollar-store' substore of FrugalBee$. When the Flea Market opened, you could see the interior had not been touched, with the DIY portions still in green and FrugalBee$ in the wood-tone brown.<br /><br />After the Flea Market left, the building was home to the Lorain County Port Authority. I think it's up for lease/sale again right now. Bookseller Video (in the space to the right of DIY's entrance), which had been there for as long as I've lived in the area (1996), finally wound up closing this past year.<br /><br />There's some new activity next to the McDonald's in front of the old DIY. I don't know what it is yet (I haven't had an opportunity to drive around and check it out), but it's a decent-sized building.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1638967203750102584.post-31128182783876290222012-12-06T08:20:31.345-05:002012-12-06T08:20:31.345-05:00There was a DIY in Brook Park / Berea at the corne...There was a DIY in Brook Park / Berea at the corner of Ohio 237 and Sheldon Road.

Home Depot recruited a bunch of people I worked with including myself to come work there. Thankfully I was smart and went to lowe's instead where I spent 4 yrs!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00795158516535495194noreply@blogger.com
