Big M pursuing former Great American property in Sherburne
SHERBURNE – Big M Manager Jim Fowler said he hopes to complete the acquisition of the former Great American grocery store by the end of this month or in early November.
“We have nothing official,” he said. “We’re getting pretty close, but haven’t closed on the property.”
A proposed purchase and move to the much larger space less than a mile up Main Street was announced about 10 months ago. Fowler said underground environmental issues surrounding a former gasoline station that was once located at the site delayed the project. The problem involved some clean up, he said.
After the closing, renovating the 15,000 square feet space is expected to take three to four months, with an opening anticipated sometime next year.
“When renovated, it will make a much better place to buy groceries in the village,” said Village Mayor Bill Acee. Food shoppers may currently purchase groceries from the Big M and Skip’s Market.
Fowler said his parents, Big M owners Roger and Gloria Fowler of Sherburne, plan to sell their current store once it is vacant.
