IN BUSINESS

Heironimus said Monday it will move some of its office support functions from its downtown Roanoke store to the Towers shopping center. The move will come after the first of the year, the department store chain said.

Heironimus president Larry Drombetta said the company has not yet decided which of its office departments will move or whether they will relocate to the Heironimus store or the Great Additions housewares shop.

Heironimus has said in the past that it will make a business decision at the end of 1995, when its lease expires, on whether to continue operating the downtown store on Jefferson Street.
