This latest development comes more than a year after the store owners announced they would build a new 32,000-square-foot store.

At the time, the company said it did not know when it would break ground on the new store.

“Due to nationwide shortages in construction material, there is no set grand opening date at this time,” the Feb. 22, 2022, news release stated.
