New Arizona Building Center

A new concept to provide building products and services for remodeling and building is being introduced in the Phoenix. Az.. metro area by Michael O'Malley Remodeling and Building Centers, Inc.

"The center is being designed and developed to display bathrooms, kitchens, windows/doors, floor/wall coverings, roof coverings and accessory products," explains Michael O'Malley, veteran Arizona lumber and building material retailer. "Market focus will be on the woman as our research has discovered her to be the buying influence who determines what will be purchased."

The center, which will not carry inventory, will offer building products and services such as design, lighting and repair. General construction and remodeling services will be offered through Michael O'Malley Construction, Inc., a subsidiary. The center will also market its products and services to contractors, designers and architects. The center is situated in a 7,200 sq. ft. building in the Phoenix suburb of Scottsdale.

"The center will solve a homeowner's dilemma by providing a unified delivery system for remodeling/ building services," O'Malley said. "The center will bring much added value to the remodeling process by providing one stop shopping convenience."

O'Malley, president and ceo of the company, has a background of nearly 20 years in the lumber and building materials industry. His experience includes being executive vice president and general manager
