Looks like a food mart will be located in the former playground area of the Irvine Food Mart on Richmond Road. The central seating area has been replaced by a food mart. Long Johns and Burger King will have seating just outside the central area. Gas tanks will remove several parking spaces in front of the food court.
I am sure a food mart will be more profitable to the owners than a playground or arcade games. Maybe the food mart will keep Long Johns and Arby's open. I miss Taco Bell and Burger King.
It will be nice to see another gasoline station on Richmond Road. More competition keeps prices under control.
When the new Save A Lot opens in the old Maloney's/Hecks/LA Joes/Liquadators building across the road, the turning lanes will see more traffic. A stop light would be nice. Given that a stop light is located at the intersection of Richmond Road and Dark Hollow Road, it is unlikely that a new stop light will be installed.
Estill Countians should support the food court. Jobs would be lost and Estill Countians would have fewer eating choices if the food court were to close again. Maybe the new gas tanks will mean more people will use to food court. I would love to see a shopping center built behind the food court to help anchor the food court. More people shopping there would benefit everyone including property owners, franchisees, employees etc. Couldn't you envision a new Wal Mart building located behind the food court. Messrs Williams and Gross could make money by the transaction and local jobs could be created.
