Both good and bad business news for Greenville

\\n

There is a combination of both good and bad news to report about the Greenville business scene.

\\n

On the plus side, the city of Greenville is enjoying a robust increase in sales tax rebate revenue generated from local merchants and a downtown supermarket that closed last year is getting close to reopening.

\\n

On the other hand, two major department stores that are part of the Promenade Shopping Center are in their final days.  A rededication of a percentage of the sales tax revenue goes toward the 4A economic development corporation.

\\n

\\u2022 A former grocery store at 2601 King St. is seeing new life, as crews have been renovating the 17,000-square-foot building, most recently the home of Migalito\\u2019s Supermercado until it closed in September 2017.

\\n

Roberto Meza, who originally opened the Supermercado in 2006, has returned to reopen it as the Fresco Supermarket.

\\n

\\u2022 The J.C. Penney store in Greenville is scheduled to close its doors this summer, according to an announcement in June from the company\\u2019s corporate office. A clearance sale was in progress at the store Wednesday.

Ongoing construction to make downtown McKinney more walkable, city says

\\n

The first phase of an extensive downtown McKinney construction project is set to finish this fall, as work continues on the \\u201cLight Up Louisiana\\u201d project on Louisiana Street.

\\n

Ongoing work is taking place between Church Street and Kentucky Street, with construction between Tennessee Street and Highway 5 scheduled to begin early in 2021.  The project includes \\u201cnecessary utility, drainage and pedestrian improvements and will also include upgrades to paving, landscape and lighting,\\u201d the city says.

\\n

With wider sidewalks, hanging light bulbs and more planters and traffic-easing infrastructure, the program should help the area become more pedestrian friendly, allowing people to more easily walk between businesses and entertainment destinations in the area.
