True Value Closes its Doors

According to a post on social media last night, Clark's True Value has permanently closed.

On its official Facebook page, the store said it shut down at 4pm Wednesday. The closure also includes the lumber yard.

The Crittenden Press reported earlier this month that a real estate broker in Madisonville had posted an online advertisement seeking buyers for Clark’s Marion True Value store. Chuck Lambdin, a Realtor with Keller Williams Elite Realty, provided few details, but posted a phone number for more information. The post displays nine photos of the business on Sturgis Road.

Brandon and Ryan Clark, brothers from Madisonville, bought the longtime Marion business in the spring of 2022. It had been operated for decades by Connie Gebhart, and her parents Wendell and LouElla Coffer before her.
