CAPE CORAL, FL - Businesses in Florida have been battling to take over vacancies in a retail development where the Cape Coral Fire Department once stood. After several complications with permits, a new Lucky’s market location will finally break ground there tomorrow. Back in 2007, developer Dan Creighton set out to turn the lot into a shopping hub for the county, but never expected the amount of work it would take to get there.
The 30,000-square-foot store was planned to be almost identical to other locations, besides the addition of a liquor license. What the retailer hoped would be an easy way to create revenue turned out to cause extensive complications when it came to obtaining a permit. Despite a few lost years and unwarranted rumors, the Lucky’s location is finally taking the next step towards physical manifestation.
According to News-Press, a groundbreaking ceremony took place this morning in honor of Lucky’s movement to finalize the Cape Coral, Florida, location. To see how the retailer attempts to make up for lost time, keep reading AndNowUKnow.
