Tacoma Screw Products has begun building its first Spokane location and outlet store at 222 S. Howe Road, Spokane Valley.

The company has locations across Washington, Idaho and Oregon. It sells up to 45,000 different types of fasteners, tools and industrial supplies.

Baker Construction is the general contractor on the $2 million building.

The location will be a full-service distribution and sales center, starting with a staff of six. Outside sales representatives will also be hired.

A company spokesman said the goal is to move into the building in September and open to the public in October or early November.
