The 84 Lumber retail operation on East Main Street in Riverhead will soon close it's doors. Company representatives indicate that the Riverhead operations and personnel would be consolidated with the 84 Lumber facility in Patchogue. This is an unfortunate closing but the facility faced strong opposition from Home Depot and the newly opened Lowes mega store on route 58. There were some rumors that Riverhead Lumber Supply would take over the 84 Lumber site but this has not been confirmed.
