New store opens

PC+ER (personal computing plus electronic repair) cut the ribbon Thursday on its new retail space in the Walmart Supercenter at the Towne Center retail development. The company is dedicated to recruiting and training military veterans in computer repair and related skills and then selling franchises to the veterans to own and operate. Looking on are Van Wert Area Chamber of Commerce board members and local development officials. (Dave Mosier/Van Wert independent)
