go to mygrant bet you find some of the employees working for them or maybe whoever running that PGW warehouse since a logistics company runs that lame operation
CT Glass shop is still bitter after PGW shut him off. He is a PGW basher for a long time now.
Would almost be funny if he knew how to spell and use punctuation.
Pilkington (LOF) in Randolph shut their doors on Sept. 29, 2017. It came as a HUGE shock to all of us, as that location was always so busy. Still not sure why they did it......
The only locations remaining open in the New England area (that I am aware of) are:
Worcester, MA
Cranston, RI
Salem, NH
We were actually one of the shops that originally received deliveries out of Randolph....we now use Cranston. Still awesome customer service, though.
Two Pilkington "executives" doomed the company's aftermarket business. It is amazing that the board has not held them accountable. They tried to defy the principles of economics and competition.

We all got laid off in September 2017. We were told the company was "restructuring"
I worked in that building and business for close to 30 years. It was a bit of a shock but not really surprising given the way the industry seemed to take a turn. You're right Old Timer,it sure was a group of good guys dedicated to our customers and a very well run warehouse.
Hope all is well with all our former loyal customers! We gave it our best every day but time to move on. I miss my customers a lot but the corporate bureaucracy not so much.
I always heard they rocked at service, but I guess that was all fabricated and counter to the top truth. They obviously became quarry for other suppliers. Luckily everyone didn't lose their marbles and the artisans that worked there started with a clean slate.
