May be when they will finish the Bellevue demo they will move up to 72nd and Maple. Â They have the first piece of machinery on site and demo looks to begin any time.
I remember when Krispy Kreem was as big as Starbucks. Â I guess that is pretty well past now.nebugeater wrote:Looks like the Demo is nearly complete for the CVS location in Bellevue location where the Krispy Kreem location was. Another 18 months or so and they should be open.

It must of been construction guys I guess there were like 10 cars out side with every light on and I just assumed.nebugeater wrote:iamjacobm wrote:The one on 144th and Maple was open for business today when I drove past it.
Might be jumping the gun a bit. Happened to be driving down Maple today and the digital sign out front said OPENING SOON. There were no cars in the lot and the store was dark. This was about 11:00 AM

I almost *THOUGHT* that the one at 108th and Fort was open this morning. Lights on, lotsa cars in the parking lot, but the sign was flashing "open soon" so it must be construction people and staff and such parked there.iamjacobm wrote:The one on 144th and Maple was open for business today when I drove past it.
Jeffrey Robb WORLD-HERALD STAFF WRITER wrote:The City Planning Department, however, says the proposed CVS store would encroach on an adjacent neighborhood. Beyond that, the area has several large commercial properties — including some already vacant — that would be suitable for a CVS, the department says.
CVS is asking for a zoning change, land plat and a revision to Omaha's master development plan for the property southeast of 90th and Blondo. Part of the 2.2 acre property is zoned for businesses, although the plans also call for three homes to be removed.
While I agree, I am sure CVS has whole teams dedicated to determining what the best location is. Â I hope we push to use existing buildings. Â However, it is also a game to see who gets called first. Â Sure would suck to see a business skip out on an area in need of businesses.cdub wrote:The forth corner can have commercial. Someone can go get a building permit tomorrow if they can fit on the existing site without eroding the neighborhood and housing stock. There is a lot of vacant space along that corridor already and thus no reason to expand some of it.
They may be a carbon copy physical store, but they way they are going about entering this market is rubbing a lot of people the wrong way.Can't say I disagree about their butt-ugly buildings. But how is Walgreens any different?nativeomahan wrote:Maybe if they wouldn't have a history of slapping up such butt ugly buildings I would feel differently, but I am not impressed by this chain or how they want to do business in our city.

The add in the Sunday OWH said that the one on Maple and the One on Fort were both opening on the last weekend.Omababe wrote:Hmmmm ...

I guess I'm expecting a big >>OPEN<< sign or something ...
My paper did not have any ad for CVS, but I did get a direct mailer with the same sales you mentioned.omaproud wrote:The new store at 108 and Fort is open.

For what it's worth the add that I refered to was not an insert add. Â It was about a 1/4 page printed add somewhere ( don't remember the section) in the main paper. Â Probably why no one saw it!bbinks wrote:My paper did not have any ad for CVS, but I did get a direct mailer with the same sales you mentioned.omaproud wrote:The new store at 108 and Fort is open.

That could be why. Â I was expecting a normal ad like Walgreens or Target.nebugeater wrote:For what it's worth the add that I refered to was not an insert add.

Insert was probably based on your location. Â It was not in my home delivered paper in Gretnaomaproud wrote:Actually there was both an insert ad and the 1/2 page add printed directly in the paper. Only the insert ad had the coupons. The insert ad was only one page, not like the typical Walgreens ad.

I thought it was interesting how the planning board didn't support this proposal while the neighborhood did. Â A complete 180 from Dundee.Brad wrote:City Council passed the 90th and Blondo CVS today 6 to 0 with no opposition.
Not exactly. They stopped for about 2 to 3 weeks while they got the city council approval for the other location, then they finished removing the canopy and a few other things. However at the end of last week, they covered the entire site is straw leaving me to believe the rest of the project is on hold for a while. I was hoping they were going to remove the retaining wall before they put anything on hold.DeWalt wrote:Nothing has happened in over a month.
