Ocean State Job Lot closes Southington, Connecticut store after nearly 30 years

Ocean State Job Lot is closing its Southington, Connecticut store after nearly 30 years due to lease non-renewal. The discount retailer cited the landlord's decision to pursue a different direction for the property as the reason for the closure. All employees will be offered positions at a nearby store. Goodwill plans to move into the vacant space, expanding its operations and donation processing capabilities in Southington.
