LeCompte said the store will face the southeast. Building supplies will be provided through Orgill Hardware Distributors. The new business will employ between six and 10 individuals.

The couple have three children, Victoria Zane LeCompte, a student a Missouri State University, Zane LeCompte, a student at the University of Arkansas, and Jillian Micol LeCompte, a second grade student at Cassville Primary School.
