The Menards in Fairborn is one step closer to opening.

The city issued Menards a temporary occupancy to allow for hiring, training and stocking, said Fairborn City spokeswoman Meghan Howard. The store’s address will be 1277 East Dayton Yellow Springs Road, by the Kroger MarketPlace.

A Menards spokesperson said the company is excited, but no date for opening has been set yet.

Menards could hire about 45 full-time and 80 part-time employees.
