More than 30 employees return to work as stores re-open

OKLAHOMA CITY (April 22, 2024) — After Kelly-Moore Paints suddenly ceased operations at 157 stores nationwide earlier this year, Oklahoma City-based H-I-S Paint has stepped in to re-open seven of the shuttered stores in Oklahoma and Texas.

H-I-S Paint CEO Joe Cox said his company, a paint-industry leader with more than 50 years in business, saw an opportunity to save jobs and give customers access to the same quality of paint product at the same locations.

“When the Kelly-Moore stores closed, tenured employees lost their livelihoods while customers were left without an equal alternative,” said Cox. “We’re pleased to be able to give jobs back to more than 30 employees while allowing customers to return to what they know and love.”

H-I-S Paint reopened stores at the following locations:

727 Broadway Ave.
Edmond, OK 73034

108 24th St. SW
Norman, OK 73069

12011 S Memorial Dr.
Bixby, OK 74008

2901 N Grandview Ave.
Odessa, TX 79762

3437 N First St.
Abilene, TX 79603

Additional openings are also planned in Wichita Falls and Amarillo, Texas.

These former Kelly-Moore locations have been reopened to with the same team and quality of products as before, enabling DIY enthusiasts, contractors and builders to return to the paint they trust.
