When I purchased Empire Home Center last December, navigating through a global pandemic did not top my list of possible threats. I am incredibly grateful that I was raised to be resilient and I was taught that working through challenges is a part of life. Understanding how the pandemic could destroy the supply chain in the building products industry, I moved factories and tripled our orders in different countries to ensure Empire’s stock remained consistent. I opened my second location in November of 2020 on Penn Avenue in West Reading, built an e-commerce site, started our gift registry site, but most importantly, kept our entire team working and our customers supplied with the product they need.
