EIGHTY FOUR, Pa. -- The 84 Lumber chain said it will close 67 stores in 19 states, including 13 in Ohio.

The company said it's shutting down stores in slow-growing and rural markets and will focus on faster-growing areas in hopes of boosting sales.

Company officials say about 600 employees will be affected by the store closings. About two-thirds are expected to accept jobs at other stores.
