![]() ![]() "The permit was originally to gut the Kmart building and get ready for it to be divided," McDonald said.Īdditional building permits will be needed for each of the additional spaces once leases are signed and specs ironed out. ![]() "At this time, we only have a building permit for Harbor Freight," he said.Įarly in the process, the town received a demolition permit for the interior of the building. Of course, like everyone else, town building inspectors have heard an ALDI was being courted for one of the spaces, McDonald said. "The building will be divided into four separate storefronts, but the only one that is confirmed Harbor Frieght," said Roy McDonald, Waynesville building inspector. That information, however, isn't found in official records to date. Loretta Hart said she'd been told one of the storefronts will be occupied by an ALDI grocery store. There will be space for two other stores, she said, for a total of four spaces in all. The Harbor Freight space is L-shaped, with the back portion lapping around the back of the auto parts store, Loretta Hart explained. The far end of the 50,000-square-foot Kmart building will house an auto parts store in the front section. Crews will work Monday through Saturday to get the space ready for shelf-stocking by the first week in April, she added.Įven last-minute changes - like when a new set of plans delivered via Fed Ex arrived Friday - were taken in stride. Before the Harts ever arrive on the job, the sub contractors have bid the project and are ready to roll. Loretta Hart explained that Simmons Construction has a standing list of contractors the company has worked with previously. If things are looking dicey, he said he'd just bring in more help. "We always make our deadline," said job superintendent Wayne Hart. Still, looking at the vast open space that will occupy about one-fourth of the former Kmart store could prompt the question, "can this get done on time?" Last Friday, the store footprint had been framed and some sheet rock had been placed - all since Jan. The couple works year-round on jobs like the Waynesville one, and generally is in three to four communities a year, she said. ![]() The time frame varies depending on the store, Loretta Hart explained.įor instance, a Big Lots store can take 12-13 weeks, while a job the size of the Harbor Freight contract is expected to wrap up in eight weeks. They are Missouri natives that travel across the nation handling quick-build type jobs for their employer. The Harts have a proven record of getting the job done on time. ![]()
