Harps, which is an employee-owned company, operates 135 stores in 4 states, including Oklahoma, Missouri, Kansas, and Arkansas.

Tuesday’s release did not say when the company plans to break ground on the new store.

“Due to nationwide shortages in construction material, there is no set grand opening date at this time,” the release stated.

We will continue to track this story and provide updates as they become available.
