Home Central recently announced it has acquired Corning Building Company, renaming the company to Corning’s Home Central.
“We are deeply honored to welcome the Corning Building Company into the Home Central family,” says Ben Whittemore & Aaron Gowan, Owners of Home Central. “The legacy built by the Smith family and the Corning Building Company over generations is truly remarkable. We understand the trust that comes with taking on a business that has been such an important part of its community, and we are committed to carrying that legacy
forward.”
The acquisition marks the fourth Home Central retail location, joining the company’s existing stores in Owego, Vestal and Candor, New York. The Corning Building Company team will remain at the store following the acquisition.
“We recognize that a business with this kind of history is more than just a store-it is part of the community,” say Home Central owners. “Our goal is to preserve what has made the Corning Building Company special while bringing the strength, resources and opportunities of the Home Central family to Corning and the surrounding Southern Tier.”
