Grocery opening on Main Street

[John P]

It llooks like Springfield is finally going to get a grocery store. http://www.myspringfield.org/General/julies-urban-grocery.html It looks well done. Whos doing it?

I'm not sure.  I plan to run a story on it when I get more details.  However, this was in the Jax Daily Record a few weeks back:

Julie’s Urban Grocery, 1501 N. Main St., contractor is Cesery Properties Inc., alterations and repairs, 4,105 square feet, $10,000

Words cannot express how happy I am to have this a few blocks from my house. I imagine that it will be similar to Grassroots. (Hopefully, with a similar beer selection!) Lake, definitely let us know if you find out more about the project.

Great work as usual by Content Design. I'm not so fond of the rainscreen/metal shutters on the front windows, however. The large windows are what make this property so beautiful. Also, I imagine that seeing neatly stacked produce, etc. from the street would help draw in customers.

This will be a great addition to Main street!!

Wow that looks great.  I wonder if they will go with a Trader Joes type store?  If the building looks that good and they market themselves well I think this will be a success.

Wow this is exactly what main street and springfield needs! Too bad I just bought a house on the westside, my lazy ass wants to move to springfiled now so I can get my groceries delivered.! LOL

This is cool with me.  I'm finalizing plans that will have me staying within a block of this place.

I wonder if the building was leased or sold; it was an absolute disaster on the inside

Its owned by Cesery and will be leased by the business owner. I believe it will be a long term lease.

Well good for you Lake  Looks like I miss the boat on this one. This store is only one of its kind in the city isnt it?

[Seraphs]

Great!  Maybe more will businesses will follow.
