Nabors Home Center celebrates grand opening in Water Valley
Nabors brought Water Valley shoppers a closer source for lumber, tools and supplies at 608 N. Main St. The grand opening added specials, demos, food and a Cody Riddle Band set.
A new Nabors Home Center on North Main Street gave Water Valley residents, farmers and contractors a closer place to pick up lumber, hardware and building supplies, trimming trips to other towns for repairs, maintenance and bigger projects. The grand opening at 608 N. Main St. ran Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and turned the retail debut into a community stop with specials, vendor demonstrations, food, refreshments and a chance to win a PIT BOSS LP Gas Griddle.
The Cody Riddle Band played from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., adding a local event feel to what was also a practical business opening. Nabors Home Center, a fourth-generation family-owned North Mississippi business, has built its identity around small towns, a deep inventory and low prices, with products that range from outdoor power equipment and paint to appliances and other home-improvement essentials.
That matters in Water Valley, a city of 3,376, and in Lafayette County, where the Census Bureau counted 55,813 residents in 2020 and estimated 59,597 in July 2025. The county also recorded $982,141,000 in retail sales in 2022, evidence of a market that can support more local shopping options while still rewarding the kind of convenience a home center provides for households and contractors alike. Lafayette County had 1,435 employer establishments in 2023, another sign of a broad business base that depends on nearby suppliers.
The Water Valley Area Chamber of Commerce says its mission is to promote economic vitality and strength in the area while improving the economy and quality of life, and a home center on Main Street fits that goal in a tangible way. Nabors’ expanded presence gives local customers another place to source materials without leaving town, while reinforcing the idea that commercial growth in Lafayette County is not limited to Oxford.
The June 20 celebration also marked another step in Nabors’ Water Valley footprint after the company acquired the location in May 2024. Earlier promotions at the store included discounts, giveaways and a $200 gift-card drawing, showing that the business has moved beyond a simple takeover and into a steady role in the town’s retail mix.
