Winco Foods Coming To Tacoma?
It appears Tacoma may be getting a new grocery store and it looks to be the popular Winco Foods. Furniture Factory Direct is vacating their space at 1913 South 72nd Street in the Tacoma Place shopping center. The building that houses Furniture Factory Direct was purchased in April 2010 for $11,750,000 by 72nd Ave. Partners LLC. One of the managing members of the LLC is the VP/Controller of Winco Foods. The building is 103,000 square feet and is visible from I-5.
Winco Foods was founded in 1967 in Boise, Idaho. It is known for affordable prices and giving its employees an ownership stake in the company. This will be the first Tacoma store for Winco and the 4th in the South Sound with others being in Federal Way, Puyallup and Sumner. A store in Lacey, WA is also in the works.
I will post more information on an opening date when I get it.
Tacoma to get an Apple Store
It appears that a new Apple Retail Store is opening up in the Tacoma Mall. Today I found this listing on Craigslist.org : Apple Retail – Specialist – Tacoma, WA (Tacoma Mall)
I always thought it was funny that since I have a few Apple adds on my real estate website, my page comes up up in the first few web results on google for “tacoma apple stores”, “tacoma washington apple stores” etc. I usually get a few hits from those keywords every month.
Now I am guessing eventually the search results will lean more towards the new store.
