MADISON, MS (Mississippi News Now) -

The Madison Board of Aldermen has approved a permit for the construction of a Sam's Club in the city.

Sam's Club representatives presented renderings of the store to Madison Mayor Mary Hawkins-Butler and the board Tuesday night.

The wholesale store will also include fuel pumps outside. The 136,000-sqare-foot store will be located on a 14-acre lot at the corner of Grandview Boulevard and Madison Avenue next to Miskelly Furniture, according to Madison Economic Development Director Jerry Cook.

There's no word on when construction will start, but Alderman-At-Large John Howland says he expects the doors to open in about a year.

It's unclear if the Sam's Club on County Line Road in Jackson will be affected. Officials had previously said the Sam's Club in north Jackson was considering a move to Madison because of structural problems with its existing building.
