Roseburg Winco Update: Demolition of Old Kmart Building Begins

Construction crews have started the demolition of the old Kmart building to make way for a new 72k sq ft Winco to be constructed in Roseburg off Stewart Parkway. From previous stories: Winco Foods has submitted plans to the City of Roseburg to build a new location at the site of the old Kmart building on Stewart Parkway. The location has sat empty for the past several years. The proposal calls for demolishing the old Kmart building and constructing a new 72,971 sqft building in its place. The grocery store would operate 24hrs a day, 7 days a week. The store went through the City of Roseburg Planning Commission last year, was approved by City Council, and appeal to the Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals. The board approved City Council's decision and WinCo is moving forward with their plans. The company does not have a timeline yet, but the company spokesperson said they are thrilled to finally be bringing one of their stores to Roseburg. They said the community has shown they want a WinCo. It's in the design phase now. Winco has a total of 131 employee-owned stores with over 20k employees.
