New Rumor

[Finn]

I have heard that there are negotiations for a grocer in downtown. This is very preliminary! It is part of a project that is still probably about six months away (I know that is a long time).

Man Finn, this source must be good. Thats what 3 you've cranked out lately. One came true so far. Lets hope you can get 2 more right.

What was the rumor that came true?

I heard from someone who works downtown that Wholner's, the neighborhood grocer on 50th and Leavenworth, is going to open a downtown location. I think that would be great. I don't really want to see a Hy-Vee or Bakers downtown. Gross.

Now that would be great - a Wohlners market place - a grocery with a little style.

[POTUS]

Though I'd prefer a Wohlner's, I think Fareway would be a decent choice, too. Please no Baker's (most likely anyways), No Frills, or HyVee.

Ugh, knowing fareway they would probably want to build an ugly yellow, red and brown box, those stores are sooo ugly

I have heard the following rumor regarding Wohlners, they are planning on located in the lower level of the "Lerner Building". This is not a huge space but it may include the lower 2 floors. This would all but wipe-out the downtown food mart. Located across the street

Help me out with the address of the Lerner Building.

The Lerner Building is correct and the grocery space will include the first two floors.

I'm glad to finally hear something about that building. It's been one of my favortie projects since it was announced. I hope it kick starts more stuff going in on 16th. St.
