Tide Cleaners will close the four dry cleaning stores it operates in Central Ohio next month. Cincinnati-based Procter & Gamble Co. (NYSE:PG) opened its first Tide stores in 2008 and it has been in the Columbus market since 2013 when its Pickerington shop opened. The four locations here – Powell, Pickerington, Westerville and Gahanna – will close for good Dec. 9. 'For various business reasons we have made the difficult decision to close these stores,' the company said in an email. It has not yet answered additional questions about the decision, but a message from brand CEO Andrew Gibson to franchisees shared with Columbus Business First cited an inability to re-franchise the brand in the market as a key reason for the decision.
