Subject: City Manager’s Update on Arlan’s Grocery Store Remodel and Proposed Opening
Dear Community/Residents,
I am pleased to share with you the latest developments regarding the renovation of Arlan’s Grocery Store, a key part of our local retail landscape.
Remodel Progress:
As you may know, Arlan’s Grocery has been undergoing an extensive remodel aimed at improving the store’s layout, enhancing its overall shopping experience, and expanding the variety of goods and services offered to our community. The renovation includes upgrades to both the interior and exterior of the store, with new shelving, improved refrigeration units, and expanded fresh produce and deli sections to ensure a smoother shopping experience for all.
The remodel, which was scheduled to be completed by November 10th, is currently ongoing, with contractors working diligently to complete the necessary upgrades.
Proposed Opening Date:
After discussions with management, the store’s reopening is tentatively scheduled for late December 2024. We are excited to welcome back the community to this newly renovated space, which will not only offer an expanded selection of groceries but also provide a modern and more accessible shopping environment, which is long overdue to our community.
Future Plans:
Arlan’s Grocery is committed to supporting our community with fresh, high-quality products and excellent customer service.
We will continue to keep you updated on any changes to the timeline and invite you to visit Arlan’s upon reopening to experience the new and improved store for yourself.
Thank you for your continued support and understanding as we work to enhance the services available to our community.
Warm regards,
Lance Petty
City Manager
