History
The shopping center was built in 1954 by Harry Wheeler on land adjacent to Carol's Tearoom. Original tenants included a hardware store, pharmacy, a laundromat, and a car wash, and a drive-in restarant known as Gus'. [1] Wheeler died in 1981 and his wife Mary took over as landlord. In 1999, Mary's daughter Clara Belle took over management along with William S. Rice Real Estate. Tenants reported that leases grew more complicated, and the new management team took several tenants to court. Some, such as Meadowcrook Hardware, moved to other locations while others decided to stay put. New tenants came in while old tenants hung on.
Future redevelopment
There has been interest on the project on the part of national drug stores. [1]. However, Wheeler and the Rice company do not own one section of the property on which ALC Copies stands.
