MCKINNEY, TX MYCON General Contractors has begun construction on a new, stand-alone Kroger Signature concept store located on an 11.28-acre tract at the southeast corner of the intersection of North Goliad Street (SH 205) and Quail Run Road in Rockwall, Texas.  

Kroger's Signature concept focuses on creating a food-centric shopping destination with an extensive offering of fresh food options, healthy meal solutions and traditional grocery items combined with a Kroger Fuel Center and Kroger Pharmacy. Plans call for an 80,000-square-foot store, a six-pump fuel center and three-lane drive-thru pharmacy at the north end of the building.  Site plans include loading docks, a detention pond, surface parking and landscaping.  

"MYCON is pleased to be working again with Kroger as they continue to expand their offerings in North Texas," says  

 Justin Jeffus, MYCON Vice President of retail services. "Our experience in retail construction enables us to address the challenges unique to grocery store projects, among them: Building clean, safe rooms for pharmaceuticals, knowing the federal and state regulations regarding fuel pumps, understanding the installation of heavy equipment for food storage along with product shelving." 

Groundbreaking was in January and the store opening is slated for the first quarter of 2017.
