“We are thrilled to be part of Lago Vista,” Alan Buxkemper, Super S Vice President of Human Resources, said.
Lago Vista’s first grocery store, near FM 1431 and Lohman Ford Road, hopes to have its doors open by March 1, 2007.
“I think it’s a very exciting day for Lago Vista, “Lago Vista Chamber of Commerce President Rita Parker said.
Land clearing for Super S’ fifty-first store started last month and Super S officials said laying the foundation will begin Monday.
Lago Vista’s Super S will be one of the largest with nearly 25,000 square feet. Its state-of-the-art building will include an extensive fresh meat department, farm-fresh produce, a large wine selection and specialty and organic foods.
Buxkemper thanked the City Council, Mayor Dennis Jones, the chamber of commerce, City Manager Bill Angelo, property developer Mark Currey and others.
Councilmen Bob Bradley, Hugh Farmer, Fred Harless, Randy Kruger and Mike Thornton were attendance, along with Mayor Dennis Jones.
As parts of Super S are finished, Ace Hardware will be constructed on the same site.
Ace Hardware plans on opening a month after Super S. A Domino’s Pizza will also be in the Town Center.
Super S, which gained Council approval in April, will have 25-30 full time jobs, and Ace Hardware will have 10.
Residents agree that a grocery store in Lago Vista is a long time coming. Some may recall when a Piggly Wiggly considered coming here 20 years ago or when a Super S store fell through three years ago. The store’s progress is reassurance that will not happen again.
