Stine is a family-owned building materials dealer and employs more than 800 associates in 12 stores across the state of Louisiana and one store in Natchez, Mississippi.
Stine Home and Yard is set to host a grand opening at its Pineville, Louisiana, location May 3-4.
“We’re excited to expand our offerings to customers in the Alexandria and Pineville area,” said Jenny Stine, director of merchandising.
The Pineville Stine has operated mainly as a lumber yard since 2021, said the firm, following the company’s purchase of the former Martin Building Materials.
“Customers can now shop for major appliances for their kitchen and laundry room as well as grills for outdoor cooking,” said Stine.
After successfully serving mostly contractors in this location, CEO Dennis Stine said that the decision was made to add other popular offerings that Stine is known for in order to serve the DIY and home improvement customers as well.
The interior of the store has been completely reset in order to expand inventory, adding nearly 20,000 new product offerings.
Three new departments added to the Pineville Stine include appliances, grilling and STIHL outdoor power equipment.
With the addition of the grilling department, Jenny Stine said that customers can choose from a variety of brand name products such as Traeger wood pellet grills, Big Green Egg charcoal grills, Weber and Blackstone gas grills and many others.
“We proudly offer better brands in appliances such as Whirlpool, KitchenAid and Maytag, just to name a few,” she said.
The grand opening celebration will begin at 10:30 a.m. Friday, May 3 with a Chamber of Commerce ribbon cutting, as well as a 2x4 sawing. A representative from King Kooker will be cooking and serving jambalaya in the parking lot.
Hourly door prizes will be awarded throughout the day on both Friday and Saturday. All who enter will also be eligible to win the grand prize, an outdoor Solo Stove fire pit.
