It's Marshall's/TJMaxx, A gym (was supposed to be Gold's Gym), and the 3rd spot hasn't been occupied yet.

On this note, dirt and steel work is being done in the lot next to the former Kroger space, it looked to me last night like they were planning on expanding that (now) strip of suites. I don't know if demand is higher than expected so they're expanding or if another tenant wanted to be located there but needed a larger space than was available or what the deal is, but there was definitely some construction going on there as of yesterday.

The Kroger store on Highway 10 has begun demolition of the adjoining strip mall for expansion and rebranding into a Kroger Marketplace... will be the 3rd in the state.

The article in Arkansas Business a few weeks ago stated that the Kroger Company is in the process of purchasing the land to the east of the existing Kroger, along with the existing store and adjoining 10,000 square foot retail space.  They plan to build a 113,000 square foot store to replace the current 51,300 square foot grocery.  Kroger plans to open the new store by Christmas, after which it will tear down the old store for additional parking.  The article did not mention demolition of the adjoining retail space.

Work appears to have started on the extension of Wellington Hills Road south across Chenal Parkway so that it meets up with Kanis. I know this is part of the city's master plan, but I think the original intent was to let that be how westbound traffic on Kanis would connect to Chenal Parkway and keeping the easternmost Kanis/Chenal intersection a minor one. A few years ago a light was put in there and now there are two lights just yards apart. It seems redundant and this new extension doesn't seem worth it. Anyone know any more?

I wish Kroger came to Texarkana.

Work has begun on the Walmart Supercenter on Chenal Parkway@Bowman. Right now I just see a chain link fence and some trailers. Not sure if they'll tear the existing building down and start fresh or just redo what's there. I would imagine they would want an opening by Thanksgiving, if that's possible.
