Plans have now been announced for the construction of a 10,000-square-foot store in Santa Fe that will belong to a long-standing New Mexico retail operation. The building will go up on currently vacant land some 9 miles to the southwest of downtown Santa Fe at 7600 Baca Lane. Once completed, the structure will house the latest location for Frank's Supply Company Incorporated, a 70-year-old business launched and based in Albuquerque, with stores in El Paso, Farmington, Hobbs, and Los Alamos. According to news sources, the plans for building a new Frank's Supply store in Santa Fe have been under consideration for at least a year. Construction of the building is expected to launch in either late next year or in early 2025. To call the Frank's Supply a construction industry institution would be putting it lightly. The company's stores sell a wide variety of everything from hand and power tools to safety and welding equipment, and electrical mechanical equipment. Altogether, such stores offer up to 50,000 items for sale, let alone the roughly 1,000 items available for rent. A key to the company's success may be found in the tenacity of its staff, who never a turn a customer looking for a stray item away, but instead always say something along the lines of "let me look into it," or "let me do a little research and get back to you," a reporter for the Albuquerque Journal recently wrote.
