Marvin's Building Materials and Home Center Planned for Jasper, AL
Leeds, AL - Marvin's Building Materials and Home Centers is proud to announce a new store in Jasper, Alabama. Expected to open April 2005, Marvin's is known for its friendly, neighborhood stores that make home improvement projects easy and affordable. The store is currently under construction at the former Wal-Mart site on 1200 U.S. Highway 78 West. It will include a 35,000 square foot store with an attached lawn and garden center and drive through lumberyard.
Marvin's opened its first store in 1945 in Gadsden, Alabama. Over the past 60 years, Marvin's has grown to 23 stores in Alabama and Mississippi with over 500 employees. "We are very excited to be opening our 24th store in Jasper. The store will offer a complete line of building materials, electrical, plumbing, paint, millwork, hardware, tools, as well as lawn and garden products. We plan to offer the Jasper community a convenient alternative for their home improvement needs," said Boyden Moore, President and CEO.
Marvin's stores feature a drive-through lumberyard that makes shopping for lumber, cement, roofing, and plywood easier. "Customers can drive into the lumberyard, select the products that they want, load up, walk inside and pay, and be on their way in a flash. Making it easy for our customers is what Marvin's is all about," said Moore.
Marvin's will hire 25 or more associates to work in the Jasper store. "We like to hire friendly people from the community. All of our stores have a 'hometown' feel," said Moore. People interested in a job at the new store in Jasper can visit the Alabama Career Center at 2604 Viking Drive in Jasper. They will begin taking applications starting February 9th. Positions that are available range from the Store Management to part-time cashiers and sales associates. Job descriptions, as well as additional company history, are available on the Marvin’s website at www.marvins.com.
