The city plans to redevelop the intersection for better traffic flow after buying the land from Preston & Preston.
Doug Preston, whose father was the IGA store’s founder, owns the shopping center that houses the grocery store. Preston told WHIO there’s a chance he’ll reopen in a smaller facility, but no decision has been made.
In the same shopping center, family-owned Springboro Hardware closed its doors March 31 after more than seven decades in business.
Springboro meets in work session at 6 p.m. Thursday and in formal session at 7 p.m. at city hall, 320 W. Central Ave. in Springboro. For information, call 937-748-4343.
