Village Files Court Order to Complete Construction of Fresh Thyme Grocery Store

RIVER FOREST, IL - Structural repairs to the Fresh Thyme Farmers Market River Forest location must be complete by the end of the year.

The village entered a court order on July 12 to establish deadlines for the completion of construction in the space at 7501 North Ave. The project will be up for formal consideration at a court hearing on August 17, the Chicago Tribune reports.

Work at the site was halted on February 19, 2016 due to a wall collapse that caused hundreds of bricks to fall onto the sidewalk and Monroe Avenue.

Once construction is completed at the store, Mid-America will turn over the remaining work to Fresh Thyme. The entire store is anticipated to be complete by the third quarter of 2017, the village reports.

The site of the former Dominick's grocery store has been vacant since late 2013.
