HQ OPENING TWO NEW WAREHOUSES

Home Quarters Warehouse Inc., the chain of home improvement stores, plans to open two HQ Plus stores today in Virginia Beach and Newport News. The Virginia Beach warehouse is located in the former Princess Anne Plaza, now called HQ Plaza. The second store is in the 12100 block of Jefferson Ave. in Newport News. HQ Plus is a new effort for the Virginia Beach-based chain. The 190,000-square-foot warehouses include drive-through lumber yards. HQ now has five stores in Hampton Roads. Next spring, it plans to close its Wards Corner warehouse and open another in the Janaf Shopping Center. by CNB
