The online auction company M@C Discount, also known as Merchandise at Cost Discount, is expanding to a new location at the Greater Butler Mart.

The company has had a Butler location on Hindman Lane for about three years, but Shawn Allen, owner of M@C Discount, said the new Greater Butler Mart location will allow the company to expand in the region.

“We will be hiring about 30 new people,” Allen said. “We have found that the Butler community supported us well, so we're ready to expand.”

Allen said the company signed a five-year lease at the Greater Butler Mart on July 15, but construction supply chain shortages have delayed the opening of the M@C store. He said he hopes to have it open by the end of this year.
