To get the ball rolling this afternoon, we'll highlight a Scott Schwebke story which we completely overlooked, as we did an obviously all-too-quick scan of the Standard-Examiner website early this morning. Thanks to a tip (coulda been a taunt) from alert reader Blaine Carl however, we're delighted to put the article up on the front page for reader discussion... at reader request, we'll add. Never let it be said that WCF doesn't bend over backwards to cater to its ever-gentle readers.
Ace Reporter Schwebke's lead paragraphs provide the gist of the story:
OGDEN — Construction may begin next month on a 95,000-square-foot WinCo Foods store that will anchor a new shopping center in Ogden.Check out Mr. Schwebke's full story here:
The Commons at Ogden will be built at the southwest corner of 12th Street and Wall Avenue, said Spencer Wright, an official with Wright Development, which is handling the shopping center project.
"Things are proceeding nicely, and the project looks good at this time," Wright said Tuesday.
The WinCo store will bolster retail business along the busy 12th Street and Wall Avenue corridor, said Tom Christopulos, the city’s business development manager.
"It’s an absolute home run. We are meeting each objective that we set out to do."
• Ogden WinCo project well under wayThe "Commons Project," along with the associated WinCo Foods mega-store franchise, has been the subject of much previous reader comments discussion on Weber County Forum. Perhaps it's now time to pick up the conversation again.
Who will be the first to comment?
(You have the floor, Mr. Carl.)
Well...?
