LYNDEN, WA (MyBellinghamNow.com) – A Lynden-based company is selling more of their locations in Whatcom County.

CHS Northwest announced on Thursday, March 5 that the company has filed a mini-Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) notice with the state ahead of three planned store closures.

CHS’s Convenience and Farm and Home stores in Nooksack, Ferndale and Lynden are part of the sale.

This marks the latest announcement of downsizing for the farm supply chain since the beginning of this year, when they announced a closure of their Lynden True Value brick-and-mortar. The Bellingham location closure was announced just weeks ago.

Senior Director of Operations Eric Ellis says that employees were notified about the plans for a sale of the businesses last November, with intention to find a buyer more focused on retail.

WARN notices must be filed at least 60 days prior to the planned closure date according to state and federal law.
