When are we going to start construction? This is the question everyone is always asking. We can assure you that it’s getting closer. Before construction can begin, though, we must secure the financing. In order to do that, we have to obtain a future appraisal of the building, which we are in the process of doing, and the USDA must approve our loan application, which we submitted a couple weeks ago. Once those tasks are completed, our loan will be accessible to us.
We still plan to begin construction this winter. Construction is scheduled to take approximately 26 weeks, and will be completed in phases, so we never have to close our store. The first area of the store to be completed will be the deli, followed by the grocery department (the center of the store). Next will be the meeting room, the meat, frozen and dairy department, and the offices. Finally, the bulk department, the produce department, the bulk/produce prep room, and the seating area will be finished.
In the meantime, the deli is offering a wonderful selection to enhance your Thanksgiving meal. Pre-cooked turkeys; Pre-cooked Thanksgiving dinners (includes a pre-cooked turkey, gravy, stuffing, and cranberry relish); mashed potatoes; and pumpkin pies are all available to help lighten your load this season.
