Costco coming to Knoxville? (Chattanooga: sales tax, moving to, property)

I as well second Earthfare's meat and cheese selection, not to mention some quality domestic imports on brews. I'm also guilty of roaming their many-multiple snack bins and stocking up on multi-flavored sesame sticks, granola bunches, dried fruits, trail mix and so much more!

Oh, honeybun, that was two years ago. I have been there, often, since then. We love Turkey Creek! I embarrassed by how often I shopped at Earthfare.

Funds are a little slow, right now, so I am shopping the sales at the more down-scale grocery stores. Not Walmart, though. I'd rather die and perhaps I could. Just kidding, a little.

I haven't been to Aldi's. I really want to check it out.

There's an Aldi's!? In Knoxville!?

When Earthfare opens in Bearden-area that'll be closer for ya, Hik.

I love Earthfare's bulk bins, too. Mmm.

Yep! There's an Aldi's on Schaad Road, right next to Home Depot. You've inspired me to go check it out.

I heard Costco bought the property on the corner of Kingston Pike and Cedar Bluff for $10million. Its the big grass lot directly across from Cedar Springs Shopping center. There is a Exxon gas station opposite of the property that Costco supposedly bought. We'll see if its true or not. Although the other day there was a truck in that field doing some sort of land surveying.

The Metropolitan Planning Commission did rezone that property in October to allow a retail and office park. It's 24 acres so there's plenty of room. I sure hope Costco does come to town, and that would be a great location.

Is that the property that was left to the church and caused a big family upset?

Yes I believe it is. I don't know how it was resolved and who got the money, but someone apparently got a lot of money from the sale of that land.

[hiknapster]

You are all absolutely correct!

I looked it up on KGIS. It is still legally owned by Kaptola McMurray. But it is rezoned and read to rock-and-roll.

Knoxville is in desperate need for another chain box store.
