A Mobile-based shoe store franchise is beginning preparations for construction in TigerTown and anticipates opening sometime in the spring.
Shoe Station spokesman Brent Barkin said site clearing has begun for the Opelika franchise, which will be the company’s 18th throughout Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana and Mississippi.
While Shoe Station’s primary merchandise is shoes, Barkin said the company also sells collegiate merchandise, T-shirts and handbags.
The TigerTown franchise will be located at 2710 Enterprise Drive, in front of Kohl’s. The store will encompass about 12,000 square feet and have about 25 full-time and part-time employees.
Barkin said there will be some salaried positions available, and the company will likely begin interviews within the next month. Barkin said those interested in applying for a position at Shoe Station can email a resume to cs@shoestation.com.
