Global Structures Awarded T’iistoh Mini-Mart Project

March 13 2009

Global Structures was awarded the design/build contract for the T’iistsoh Mini-Mart project. The T’iistsoh Mini-Mart is a 6,019 square foot convenience store and laundromat facility located in Alamo, New Mexico. The project broke ground on January 15, 2009 and is scheduled to be completed in May 2009.

Taylor Roehl, Project Manager for Global Structures, stated “The Alamo Community is ecstatic to finally have a convenience store since the closest gas station is 40 miles south in Magadalena. Dyron Murphy Architects and the Navajo Chapter have been trying to get this project up and running for close to a decade and are so pleased with Global Structures for their swift progress and professionalism.”

The owner, Sandia Oil Company, has a reputation for building many high quality convenience stores and gas stations in the Northwest quadrant of New Mexico and several locations in Arizona.

The Alamo Navajo reservation is located 29 miles north of Magdalena, and is a vital part of the community at large. Although Alamo is a Chapter of the Navajo Nation, it is located approximately 200 miles southeast of the largest reservation in Arizona.

Because of their isolation, the Alamo people have maintained a unique traditional and linguistic heritage. The Alamo band is the only living Native American group who is a blend of Navajo and Apache tribes. The Alamo dialect (Navajo) is predominate in the homes and in all tribal government, religious, social, and cultural interactions.
