An Alabama home and building supply retailer is expanding its footprint in the state.

Marvin's Building Materials & Home Centers is building a 33,000-square-foot home center in Ozark that will open in the spring of 2015.

"We have been looking for a site in Ozark for several years and we are very fortunate to build in one of the most convenient intersections for shoppers in the area," said CEO Darrin Gilliam.

Located at the corner of Deese Road and Highway 231, the location will feature an attached lawn and garden center and drive thru lumberyard in addition to the 33,000-square-foot main center.

"Just as we've found in many of our new stores, feedback from our meetings with the city indicates that we will capture a great deal of sales that are currently being served outside of the city and county," Gilliam said.

The store will hire around 25 associates, and applications will be taken at the Ozark Chamber of Commerce beginning Dec. 1.

The store will feature a complete line of building materials, appliances, electrical, plumbing, paint, millwork, hardware, tools and lawn and garden products.
