Stine Home & Yard, which operates 12 stores in Louisiana and one in Mississippi, celebrated the groundbreaking of a major expansion at its location in DeRidder, Louisiana. This marks the third expansion for Stine in DeRidder.
“DeRidder is my home. I’m so proud to be here,” says Wendy Stine, president of Stine Home & Yard and 2024 Top Guns Awards honoree. “This store has my heart; this is where I grew up. It’s a great day to break ground on our third site in DeRidder, and we couldn’t be prouder.”
The expansion is being constructed directly behind the current Stine location. Once the new store is completed, the current building will become a spacious parking lot.
The expansion will enhance the DeRidder store’s footprint, encompassing a total of 115,920 square feet under roof, inclusive of retail and drive-thru areas, all situated on a 15-acre site with 360 parking spaces. The retail showroom will feature an expansive 81,630 square feet of interior space, complemented by an exterior garden center, totaling 41,880 square feet. A dedicated lumber drive-thru will provide 34,290 square feet of convenient access.
“We are excited to offer more robust departments for our DeRidder customers,” says Jenny Stine, director of merchandising. “Customers will now have access to a wider selection of premium products, enhancing their home improvement and outdoor living experiences.”
