A plan to build a 150,000-square-foot store with a garden center in the Hickory Creek Market Place at La Grange and St. Francis Roads won Village Board approval earlier this month. Work on the site is expected to begin this fall, according to Village Administrator Jerry Ducay.
The second phase of the Dominick’s-anchored retail center also includes a Staples office supply store and three outlots to be developed in the future. Those proposals must go through a separate village approval process, Ducay said.
“We’ve been interested in seeing them come to Frankfort for quite some time,” Ducay said. “All along we favored [the St. Francis Road site].”
Residents to the east along St. Francis will be shielded from the retail area by a fence and berm. The village will pay as much as $50,000 toward that cost, Ducay said.
The store is expected to generate about $400,000 a year in sales tax revenue, he added.
