Cory Presnick is Principal at Corta Development. “We have a vision for the property,” he said. “We’ve done similar projects in Sheboygan and Fond du Lac so it will be something similar in nature with redevelopment.”
In Fond du Lac, the development features a Taco John’s in the out lot. “We have a lot of frontage on Main Street,” Presnick said. “We like the opportunity to redevelop the box and the outparcel development.”
In March 2022 it was reported that a pair of national chicken chain restaurant franchises were eyeing up possible development in the out lot of the former Shopko on S. Main Street in West Bend, WI. Early word is the conversation includes a Popeyes franchise and/or Chick-fil-A.
Presnick said the purchase of the building on S. Main Street will visually help open the sightlines on the overall development with the former Shopko.
This is a working story, and more information will be posted when details become available.
