Builders Depot Store Will Cater to Building and Construction Industry in the Caribbean
Construction Commenced March 2021 Adjacent to Company's Flagship OneMart Store
Store Will Comprise 15,000 Sq. Ft. and Outside Acreage for Raw Material Use
MIAMI, FL / ACCESSWIRE / May 20, 2021 / OM Holdings International, Inc. (OTC PINK:OMHI), an operator and manager of OneMart super merchandising stores in the Caribbean, today announced it has begun construction on a new store, its second within a month, with construction expected to be completed by the end of this year.
OM Builders Depot costing $4 million is expected to add $5 million in Sales to the OMHI Group in the first 12 months with $1 million in operating profits.
OM Builders Depot will comprise 15,000 square feet and will provide building materials, hardware and tools, home appliances, cement, paint and plumbing supplies to builders and contractors, white sand, gravel, rebars, blocks and lumber will be available for purchase outside the building.
OMHI has signed a long-term lease on an acre of property for the Builders Depot store - its land costs are minimal, and the company expects significant profits and growth from this property alone. Builders Depot is 200 feet from the first OneMart and several miles from the new store, where construction is underway. OM Holdings International, Inc. became a holding company of K-Mark's Foods (1996) Limited, which originated from a company founded in 1986 in the BVI by Mark Vanterpool and family.
"We are expecting explosive growth in the Caribbean, and we see extremely high demand for this kind of an enterprise," said Mark Vanterpool, President and CEO, who founded K-Mark's Foods (1996) Limited, a subsidiary of OM Holdings International, Inc. since 2020. "I am very excited about expanding our business throughout the Caribbean, and I look forward to building a number of these stores. I also want to express my appreciation for our management team, which has outperformed the board's expectations. We now have two stores under construction, and we are looking for three more store sites in other parts of the Caribbean."
Since 2017 building regulations in the Caribbean have changed dramatically, with the entire area following specifications developed in the USA. Even during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the real estate activity in the Caribbean is seeing a strong recovery and now, with the pandemic beginning to ebb, international purchasers and resort development have increased their activities, with many purchasing second and even third properties, which bodes well for the region's construction industry.
