TJ's Furniture and Home Decor will not be closing despite the Refined Fool Brewing Company's plans to move into the London Rd. site. Manager John Vandermaden says they're exploring other locations. "We are not liquidating as the mayor has stated, I'm not sure where he got his information," says Vandermaden. "But, we are exploring a few locations and we'll gladly keep everyone in Sarnia posted as to where that is. Closing is definitely out of the question. Sarnia has been good to us and we enjoy what we do, so we plan on being around." Vandermaden says Refined Fool still has some hurdles to clear before making the move and says TJ's future will become clearer soon. He says TJ's will continue to take orders and will do business as they have for the past 25 years.
