"Furnops has already relocated to Durham"
That can't be true. This very informative and accurate website has told me time and time again that Furnops is dead.
This has been in the works for some time and is not a surprise closing. Henderson is in a strange location related to Raleigh and was never advantageous even during the Corporate Express days. Way too much windshield time between Henderson and Raleigh/Durham. In its height of activity Henderson housed Customer Service, some Sales, all managers and Division leadership. Its days were numbered due to location. You cant really blame Sycamore for this one, if anyone blame Corporate Express leadership from the early 2000s. Furnops has already relocated to Durham
Thank you for the update, it's good to keep up with what is happening in other areas of the company.
