If you have noticed recent activity, and equipment in place on Hwy. 14 near New Life Academy, construction is finally set to begin on a Beeline Convenience store.
Originally announced in 2021, delays and problems with the supply chain stalled the expected construction date time-frame in 2022.
A site plan approved back in 2021 by the Millbrook Council shows a 6,000-foot facility near New Life Academy and Colonial Plaza.
Millbrook’s Project Manager Stuart Peters explained in 2021 that the new Beeline Store is now bigger than originally expected, by over 2,000 square feet.
“This is for a convenience store along Hwy. 14 next door to Colonial Plaza and in proximity to New Life Christian Academy,” Peters said. “The project previously approved decided to expand.”
The owner/developer elected to expand the original 4,000 square foot store by 2,000 SF…as they have plans for expanded retail and eatery options. The plan displays an eight-island concept, which is 16 gas pumps, planned for the store location.
Below is the original story when we announced the Beeline would be coming to Millbrook. There have been multiple delays in starting the construction, but equipment has now been brought in to begin the process.
