Construction

In July the shopping center where Nespor's is located began construction. Not just a small construction project, but numerous large projects. First, a old building was torn down and removed to make way for a new Dillons store. Second, every remaining store front was remodeled and refaced to a newer look. Third, the parking lot was resurfaced and rerouted to include landscaping. Fourth, every remaining store was required to purchase a new marquee sign.

Needless to say it has not been easy. With chain link fences surrounding our store. A tunnel to enter our store. Reduced parking. Cones and equipment everywhere. Less customers going to the remaining Dillons. Roads torn up. Entrances blocked. Signs removed. Talk about a very unpleasant end to the summer, a discouraging football season, and rough start to the holiday season. We can't begin to tell you how awful all this construction has been.

March is the set date for the new Dillons to open. Let's hope this means the end is in sight. We could sure use a new start and a good year.
