As the building nears the completion of the remodeling phase, Scantling commented that they are eager to open the doors on their remaining stores. “We are extremely pleased with the reception we have received from the people of Waldron…We are excited to get all of the stores open and are very near the end of the remodel. Once the parking lot has been sealed, restriped and the signage has been put in place, we believe the only thing left to do is open the doors and welcome the community. Albert and Aimee are very excited about being apart of another community.”
