FORT SCOTT PRICE CHOPPER TO CLOSE DOORS

61 Comments

 

 

FORT SCOTT, Kan. (January 7, 2019)  – Price Chopper will be closing its doors in Fort Scott, KS.

 

“It’s with a heavy heart that we announce our Fort Scott store will be closing”, said Barry Queen, Price Chopper owner.  “We built what we believed the community wanted; a state-of-the-art store with superior quality fresh foods, selection and customer service.  Neither myself, our valued and dedicated employees, the city, nor our loyal customers are to be blamed.  Unfortunately, the business necessary to support store expenses simply wasn’t there.”

We want to thank our Fort Scott customers, employees and the business community for doing their best.  We do not take this decision lightly and will work with our employees by either providing them jobs in our other locations or helping them find new positions in the community.

Additional details, starting January 9:

  • All merchandise will be marked 33% off regular price
  • Store hours will be 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily until merchandise is liquidated

ABOUT PRICE CHOPPER

For 39 years, the owners and employees of Price Chopper have been committed to providing the highest quality products and top-of-the-line customer service to the thousands of customers they serve every day.

Putting Green and Driving/Slicing Mats added to Momentum Indoor Training

Leave a comment

 

To welcome 2019, Momentum Indoor Training is expanding the services offered.

” I am really excited that Momentum Indoor Training now has equipment that allows golfers to work on their game even when the weather is not favorable to be on the course,” said owner Emelia S. Whiteaker, MS, PES.

In addition to the softball and baseball pitching machines and sports performance training. Momentum Indoor Training now has a 4 ft. by 18 ft. putting green, and driving/chipping mat with nets. The putting green is made of an aerated foam technology that mimics the roll and spongy feel of a natural putting green, she said.

A variety of breaks can be easily made using the numerous shims. The roll of the green can be sped up or slowed down using a broom.

One can also practice hitting specific shots by filling one or more of the 6 holes in the green and using the side standing mat which allows you to be on the same level as the putting green.

Golfers can work on their drives and chips by using the mat to hit into the 2 different nets in the facility. There are three different sizes of rubber tees for the mat including one that allows for the use of wood/plastic tees.

Pricing for the use of the golf training aids is:

20 minutes – $7.00

40 minutes – $12.00

60 minutes – $16.00

200 minutes – $50.00

600 minutes – $125.00

“All golfers must bring in their own clubs so they can train as they play,” Whiteaker said. “To schedule, your training times call (620) 223-1803 or send them a message on Facebook: @mitrainingfs . Training times can be any time during the day but times before 3 pm must be scheduled. Momentum Indoor Training is located at 2420 S. Main St., Suite 900 (drive around to the parking area behind Tractor Supply).”

New Craw-Kan Main Hub Begins on South Judson

Leave a comment
Work has begun on a new hub for Craw-Kan Telephone Cooperative on South Judson Street.

Excavation work can be seen at the property just south of the Family Video Store on South National Avenue.

“Craw-Kan Telephone Cooperative is putting in a small office (at the site),” Bob Guilfoyle, Craw-Kan Plant Manager, said. “It will be an office, the main hub, for our electronics. It will be unmanned.”

“It is mainly for the internet (service), but we offer cable TV and telephone also.”

The building will be approximately 800 square feet facing Judson Street, he said.

The footprint of the Craw-Kan office is pictured here, behind the pile of chat.

“Ken Clary is doing the dirt work and Luke Thomas the concrete,” Guilfoyle said. “We hope to have the building done by the middle of January.”

From National Avenue looking west, the spot is across 18th Street to the east of the Fort Scott Cinema.

Currently, there is a “node” or spot for internal traffic for the surrounding service area located in the Bourbon County Courthouse in the old jail section, he said.

“There will be three nodes total,” Guilfoyle said. “One on the east side of town, one at the golf course and one at the jail. The main core will be at the 1729 S. Judson, the new location.”

McDonalds Refreshed: Grand Opening Dec. 14

Leave a comment

McDonald’s Fort Scott is open once again for business, following a hiatus from November 13 to December 8, when the drive-through service only was available.

The restaurant is located at Main and 23rd Street, 2224 S. Main.

“McDonald’s Corporation wants to refresh and re-image McDonald’s nationwide,” Michael Durbin, general manager at the Fort Scott McDonald’s said.

Following the renovation, there are some new features.

A station called a kiosk, where customers can self-order and pay at the kiosk with a debit/credit card or pay at the counter has been installed.

Michael Durbin, general manager of Fort Scott’s McDonalds, demonstrates how to use the ordering kiosk at the restaurant, a new feature.

USB ports have been installed throughout the restaurant for cell phone and computer use.

New decor in grey and yellow has been installed.

Also new: no more McCafe HappyHour.

The grand-reopening of the store is Friday, Dec. 14 at 8 a.m., when the Fort Scott Chamber of Commerce will have a ribbon-cutting event.

A new food menu item is a mushroom swiss burger or chicken sandwich, Durbin said.

There will be food specials throughout the next week, including on Dec. 14 there will be 69 cent cheeseburgers from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.

A list of the foods that will be discounted until Dec. 22.

Mark McCoy is the owner and there are currently 60 employees.
