C. J. May was born in Pikeville, KY and he began his career in the commercial real estate business in 1978.

Much of the last 30 years has been spent assisting Lowe’s Home Center with its expansion program. Mr. May has been involved in the placement of over 100 Lowe’s Home Improvement Stores all across the country. In addition, CJ is the Principal of May Commercial Group which has assisted businesses in identifying opportunities for growth by providing a wide range of services, including market delineation, expansion and storing strategies, site acquisition, contract negotiations, and construction management.

We were excited to sit down and talk with CJ about the process of site selection for a National Retailer, the process behind retail development, and what it really means to be submerged in a market like Kentucky.
