Pasadena : Ole’s, Parent Firm to Move

Ole’s Home Centers plans to move its headquarters to a new facility in Diamond Bar that also will house the corporate offices of its parent firm, Grace Home Centers West. About 250 employees at the Ole’s headquarters on Foothill Boulevard will be involved in the move, which is scheduled for the end of the year, said Sean Lee, president of Grace Home Centers, which is based in Brea.

Grace Home Centers West operates 89 stores in Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, Texas and Utah, including 50 under the Ole’s name. Ole’s Home Centers, a company founded in Rosemead in 1946, was acquired by W. R. Grace in July, 1984.
