Marvin's Teams Up with Albertville's Second Chance Shelter to Support Pavers for Pups Campaign
Sand Mountain, Alabama, November 10th, 2011
Cindy Shavers, an animal control officer with the city of Albertville, has organized a special fundraiser called Pavers for Pups, which seeks to collect concrete pavers to place underneath the kennels at Second Chance. Marvin's Building Materials and Home Centers, on U.S. 431 in Albertville, agreed to work with the organization and provide the pavers at a discounted rate. Residents can go by Marvin's, ask to speak with a manager and donate the money for as many pavers as they wish. One paver costs $1.35. For even more convenience, a resident may also call Marvin's and give their credit or debit card information over the phone.
The dogs in the shelter currently live on gravel and straw, and Second chance owner Doug McGee said the kennels can sometimes be difficult to clean. "My goal is to get the animals off the ground so that they will be less susceptible to parasites and other problems," Shavers said. McGee said the pavers are a great solution to creating more sanitary kennels for the animals. "They're real easy to set up, real easy to use," he said. "They're easier to clean, and everyting just works better with the pavers." He said the pavers are also better than pouring concrete slabs because they are not permanent. "We can reuse them," he said. "Once you pour concrete, you're there for good. We can move them, readjust them, make sidewalks, whatever. We'll be able to use these forever. We're hoping to get as many as we can."
Shavers said the fundraiser is her way of giving back to McGee and Second Chance for saving so many animals. "I became acquainted with Second Chance Shelter through my work as an animal control officer," she said. "I'm a real big animal lover and my main goal was to save as many animals as I could. You can't save them all, but for those who save the ones we can save, I wanted to be able to give back to them for all their hard work." Second Chance owner Doug McGee said it takes 121 pavers for one kennel. The shelter needs 10,043 pavers to cover all 83 kennels. Currently, they have 363 pavers for three kennels.
"We're really hoping this Pavers for Pups idea catches on," McGee said. "With the pavers, it's just a lot easier to deal with."
For more information please call 256-561-2411.
To donate money for a paver, please contact Marvin's at 256-878-3811.

Marvin's readies for move
By David Snow (Contact) | Demopolis Times
Published Tuesday, May 26, 2009
DEMOPOLIS — Marvin’s Building Materials and Home Centers is preparing to move to its new, larger location on U.S. Highway 80.
Craig Cowart, the senior vice president of merchandising and marketing, said the store would open on Monday, June 8, what the company is calling a “soft opening,” as opposed to the grand opening featuring the ribbon cutting, which will take place on Friday, June 19.
“Demopolis is a market we’ve been in since the late ’90s,” Cowart said. “It’s a market that we’ve been very pleased with, and we’re happy for the opportunity to grow with the city.
“The larger location will mean several different things. It’s going to allow that market and that store’s team to have our most competitive format, our new store format. There are several changes that you will see versus the Marvin’s that they’re used to in Demopolis.
“You’ll have a larger nursery as well as a larger drive-through lumber yard that will be paved instead of gravel,” he said. “We’re very proud of it.”
Store manager Stacy Carroll said the new store would open on Saturday, June 6, weather permitting. She added that, with the larger store, the company hired 12 more employees.
“When people find out that we’re moving, they get so excited,” Carroll said. “It’s going to be nice.”

DEMOPOLIS — Marvin’s Building Materials and Home Centers opened at its new location on Friday, allowing customers an early glimpse into its larger store.
“We wanted to open up the store a day earlier so we could get any kinks out,” said store manager Stacy Carroll.
Carroll said the store would have specials each Saturday from 7 to 11 a.m.
She added that although the store had what she calls a “soft” opening on Friday, it would have a grand opening on June 19-20.
Customers were walking around the store Friday morning, checking out the inventory and comparing prices.
“We thought we’d come see what the prices were going to be,” said Wayne Washburn, of Greensboro. “We thought we’d shop around a little bit.”
“It’s a nice store,” said Tracy Adams of Gallion.
Marvin’s will feature an expanded nursery and lumber yard, and will anchor the renovated Demopolis Gateway Plaza, bought by Quality Properties LLC, owned by Jeff Beck.
Most of the plaza got a new roof, and the plaza received a refreshed façade. Main Moon Restaurant will move into the plaza soon, and is in the process of moving and tearing down its former location in the parking lot of the plaza. The Market Place has also renewed its lease in the plaza and got a new ceiling and floor among other renovations.
Beck said he was hoping to get Dollar General to return to the plaza, and would like to have a 24-hour restaurant.

By Stephanie Nelson (Contact) | Andalusia Star-News
Published Wednesday, February 4, 2009
Andalusia Mayor Earl Johnson announced at a Wednesday press conference that Andalusia will soon be home to Marvin's Building Materials and Home Center. The home improvement center will be located in the old Wal-Mart building on the west bypass, next to the future home of Tractor Supply Co.
According to the company's Web site, Marvin's first store opened in Gadsden, Ala., in 1945, and the company is now based in Leeds, outside of Birmingham. The company currently has 28 stores in Alabama, Mississippi and Florida.

Marvin’s coming to Andalusia- Store will locate in old Wal-Mart
By Stephanie Nelson (Contact) | Andalusia Star-News
Published Thursday, February 5, 2009
City officials announced Wednesday that Marvin’s Building Materials and Home Center will locate in part of Andalusia’s old Wal-Mart building.
Mayor Earl Johnson said building renovations will begin immediately, and the store expects to open this summer.
The new business will employ an estimated 25 people, occupy 36,000 square feet of the southern portion of the building and will have an attached lawn and garden center and drive-through lumber yard, Johnson said.
“This is a great economic boost to our community,” Johnson said. “It sends the message that Andalusia is in good shape and our economy is strong.”
Johnson said the contract with the Leeds-based company was accomplished in a two-week time frame and was signed Tuesday in Birmingham.
“While we were there, we had the opportunity to visit the company’s newest store in Calera,” he said. “It’s an attractive facility and our facility, like that one, will have a great impact in our area.
“It’s going to make a great addition to our community,” he said. “Its customer base will fit well, I think, with Tractor Supply. I think it’s going to move traffic to that side of town.”
Tractor Supply, which was announced shortly before the end of 2008, occupies the northern end of the old Wal-Mart building. Johnson said plans are under way to fill the middle section of the building.
“We’re working with a developer now, and we’ve got prospects,” he said. “I expect it to be filled before too long.”
Currently, there are 25 Marvin’s stores — Andalusia will be its 26th — in Alabama, Mississippi and Florida. Those stores employ a total of more than 600 employees.
“We are very excited to be opening our 26th store in Andalusia,” said Boyden Moore, Marvin’s president and CEO, in a prepared statement. “The store will feature a complete line of building materials, electrical, plumbing, paint, millwork, hardware, tools, as well as lawn and garden products.
“We plan to offer the communities of Covington and Conecuh counties a convenient alternative for their home improvement needs,” he said. “Additionally, Andalusia won us over versus other markets we were evaluating because of their great deal of cooperation and assistance in decision making.
Moore sad the mayor and city council worked swiftly to get Andalusia pushed ahead of several other communities in Alabama and surrounding states.
“We’ve been trying to come to Andalusia for several years, but the deal never seemed to come through,” he said. “The current developer and the city made our decision easy on our next store. We have a shared objective to keep sales inside the community that currently go to other counties, especially on the weekends.”
Employment positions from store management to part-time cashiers and sales associates are available and applications can be picked up at the Andalusia Area Chamber of Commerce beginning Mon., Feb. 16. Job descriptions are available online at www.marvins.com.
The store is expected to open in June or July.
