Pergament Home Centers was a home improvement store chain with stores in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut.[1] It specialized in the sale of flooring, paint, and wallpaper and was one of the first in the area to sell acrylic paint.[2][3] At its zenith, the chain had 42 stores and sales of $375 million.[2]
In 2001, after facing stiff competition from The Home Depot and Lowe's, the company filed bankruptcy and shut down.[1]
