My husband is the store manager of the Shopko there. We are now hearing that the old Bakers building is going to be split in half or in thirds. Suposedly Panera Bread and Wild Oats Market is coming but just a rumor for now. Across the street they would like to tear everything down and put in a Lowes or Home Depot. I will update later when I know more info.
I hope you are not dreaming... dreamer, that would be GREAT for the area if they could pull that off.Dreamer wrote:My husband is the store manager of the Shopko there.

Maybe you are talking about the Good Will. Thats possible.

I talked to a person that is very close to the situation tonight. Â I guess the Mangelson's plaza is for sale. Â There was a deal in place that fell through, but I guess deal number 2 is in the works. Â So specifics were given on the deals.

I can't imagine Mangelsen's closing/moving? Does David own the plaza presently, or do they simply lease their space? I would think w/ the name being centered around their store it's their center? But, I suppose w/ the 90th & Center activity & so on, who knows what's going on - the 84th & Center intersection is a pain in the |expletive|, though. The lanes change funny at the light, especially when going northbound through the intersection.

A few months ago they were talking about Mangelsens moving over to the Bakers Store but that didn't work out.They decided to split up the old Bakers store because of the size. Â
I don't know who owns the Wild Oats but I did notice that Whole Foods Market has really cut back on departments. Now they have added normal milk in there along with the soy milk. They tore down the whole candy section and put bar stools in and tables. There used to fresh sugared candies and chocolate covered strawberries .  They have cut back on the deli salads not as many the meat department section is now filled with wine and beer  not as much fresh bread in the bakery.   So many things get throw away so they must be cutting back.   I go over there maybe every three or four months.

Joe and Josephine Gaeta said this week that lease uncertainty with a new landlord, their own advancing age and the untimely deaths of two of their children are forcing them to reluctantly end what has been a family affair for 27 years
NICHOLE AKSAMIT WORLD-HERALD STAFF WRITER wrote:Joe Sr. said he foresaw the closing after a local gas station company purchased the center that houses his restaurant and "wouldn't say anything" about what might happen with Gaeta's current lease, which expires this fall.

I heard tonight that the bird feeder store is moving to Gaeta's location, they are going to tear down the Gas Station and the east 1/2 of the strip mall and then Buckey's is going to build a new station.

The Westgate Hi-Tech Auto Care shop that was located in the now demolished gas station building has moved to 122nd & W Center Rd, into the former BP / West Center Auto building. Â They have already almost finished the rebranding and now will be pumping Phillips 66 gas.SaOmaha wrote:Today I went by Frederick Square and notce the Original First National Branch building and the adjunct gas station on the N.W. corner of 84th and Frederick has been knocked down.

I was noticing the other night that now that the gas station and bank are gone, you have a great view of the strip mall and they seem to be gaining a good amount of tenants.

I stopped in the bird store on the south side of Frederick yesterday and the lady working their told me that they are hoping to move to the old Gaeta's by November, but the landlord is keeping them in the dark about a timetable. Â The store refuses to move after early November until the end of the holiday season for obvious reasons. Â The BP gas store has apparently closed as part of the plan of Bucky's to slice off the east 30 feet of the strip mall for their new gas station. Â Like anyone needs another Bucky's!

Between 84th and Fredrick, 84th and Center and 90th and Center, there use to be 5 gas stations now there is 1 and when Bucky's reopens, 2, I think they are positioned right.

Not that there was much there, but that gas station was gone in one day. Â The FNB seems to be a way more substantial structure than the old one.SaOmaha wrote:Saturday, I went by Frederick Square on my way to Hot shops Open House just north of the Qwest Center, I saw the beginning of the steel frame for new First National Branch building on the north west corner of 84th & Fredrick.

The bank appears to be mostly enclosed now and work is commencing on the interior. Â Remodel also appears to be wrapping up on the old Getas location, I will assume the bird store will be moving soon. Â Finally there is a construction trailer on site for the future gas station.

Is is the the old cinema center building that is being converted?

no its directly on that corner. phones plus? i think thats what its called? closed and the rock bottom cafe? took down its signs but still looked open. the sign is in front of the old gas station that recently turned into a business that sells grave stones. it looked like there will be a strip mall and another building (probably the bar)
As far as I am concerned, a strip mall replacing all three of those buildings would be an improvement. Â However, I would rather see office or something go in there, that area is saturated with strip malls.

Past few days, There has been a short discussion above on the planned development on the S.E. Corner of 84th & Center. Â Today I took a walk around the site – The former gas station, Rock Bottom Cafe & Bar and the Phone Plus store . There would be room for two short retail and Office building.

Thanks for getting those pics. its nice to be able to look at the rendering for more than 2 seconds as i drive by! this is a good addition to the area. Those 3 buildings this replaces were eyesores. Â It will be interesting to see how they put all this up. im not sure how all of this will fit on these lots unless there is more room than i thought...
