The store will be similar to the company's first store, but larger so it can offer even more goods, including food, clothing, appliances, furniture, electronics and general household items - everything shoppers need for one stop shopping. It will provide adequate parking compared to its competitors in the area.
The company's new store concept, OM Builders Depot, will be in Port Purcell, near the main port and the capital Road Town on Tortola, BVI.
