New Oswego Grocery Store To Open 'As Soon As Possible': Village
Trustees approved the plans in February for the 5 acres of vacant land at the corner of Route 34 and Kendall Point Drive in Oswego.
OSWEGO, IL — The new grocery store at Route 34 and Kendall Point Drive in Oswego will open "as soon as possible," Oswego officials said.
Benderson Development, the Florida-based group helming the project, plans to complete construction and open the grocery store as soon as the end of the year, Oswego Communications Manager Lisset Padilla told Patch. Fencing was recently installed around the 12,500-square-foot site neighboring the Delta Sonic car wash and gas station, Shaw Local reported.
The mystery store has not yet been named. Oswego trustees approved Benderson Development's application on Feb. 19 for a grocery store, restaurant and bank on 5 acres of undeveloped land.
