PKMJ is now located at 410 Rouser Road in Moon. The company employs 200 and was founded in 1982, according to its website.  

Paul Tobin, president of PKMJ, said in a company statement he is "delighted" by the acquisition.

I'm having trouble deciphering/accessing complete posts above. I have not been able to follow theRead More Boards meetings since relocating a year ago to TN. The fact that it took them til 3 am to ok WalMart's plans for the space, makes me think it was contentious, as it should have been. Many of us with experience of WalMart and the existing problems with traffic in the area remain appalled to hear WalMart's moving ahead.
