"Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end and it's time for us to close the business," said Malcolm Sydnor, president of Old Dominion Footwear. "We have thoroughly enjoyed being in Amherst County - it's a great place to do business."
The Amherst location will serve as a distribution center for Moore & Giles and will also allow the company to possibly expand its brand of home goods and accessories.
