Planning Commission - Feb 17, 2026
The long-vacant former Walmart shopping center is being split into seven parcels to bring in Vallarta Supermarkets, Ross, Five Below, Dutch Bros and Take 5 Oil Change. Commissioners see it as an anchor that could spark more investment along the Mitchell Road corridor.
