More retailers will be calling Montgomery home as construction begins in the Lowe's parking lot on East Boulevard.

Paragon Construction and Development have blocked the site off, according to a report from the Montgomery Advertiser and construction is already underway on a new development. The new free-standing building will house Mattress Firm, who will occupy 4,000 square feet, while an AT&T store take up the remaining 1,450 square feet.

The report said construction is expected to be complete in March 2015. The project owner also said in the report that the store openings could be held at different times, with AT&T likely opening last due to a difference in setup timetables.

A spokesman from AT&T said the new store would be a franchise store and not corporately owned.
