Rapid progress at Sendik's
Preparations at Sendik’s at 51st and Rawson for the target October 31st opening are moving along swiftly.The shelves are about 99% stocked.
The liquor/wine area is almost fully stocked.
Right next to the spirits, the cheese area, not exactly a cheese room as it was called in one previous reader comment has been staffed and wheels of cheese are being worked on.
Some products have been put in refrigerators.
Some packaged frozen meats and seafood are out.
A large greeting card area is almost filled, and probably will be by the time you read this.
A customer service area at the front of the store has been installed.
Computer screens/scanners at the checkouts are in place and employees are being trained on how to use them.
Shopping carts are inside the entrances and ready to go.
One of the first things you’ll see when you walk in is a display featuring Thanksgiving gifts.
The selection of Christmas trees has grown.
Each area seems to have at least something already in place save one: fresh flowers.
I’m not suggesting Sendik’s could open early, but at the rate they’re progressing, it looks like they could.
It appears October 31st won’t be a problem.
