State Sen. Billy C. Hudson settles salvage store dispute
State Sen. Billy C. Hudson, a partner with BDS Hudson Co., said his company has reached a settlement in a lawsuit filed by Channel Control Merchants – which owns the Treasure Hunt and Dirt Cheap brands.
He also said BCH & Co. in the Midtown Market shopping center on Hardy Street is closing its doors soon, although the building won’t sit empty for long.
Hudson didn’t have an exact closure date but said it will happen “pretty quickly.”
“Another store will be going in the day after this one closes. I won’t be involved in the new one,” he said. “It takes more hours in the day to do both my Senate job and retail business.”
