It’s been just over four months since Joe Johnson the owner of Johnson Gearing & Fleet Supply lost his business of 25-years.
On December 27th, a massive fire along West 12th Street put his life and business in chaos.
The blaze was sparked by welding accident at a neighboring business.
Johnson is now at his new business location at 1521 Lowell Avenue.
The response from the community overwhelmed Johnson and his family.
In January, Seneca Mineral on Edinboro Road provided office space for Johnson and his staff.
He’s leasing the building on 1521 Powell Avenue until the end of December and hopes to purchase it in 2027.
Johnson wants to complete all of the remodeling at his new office space by the middle of May.
