Large Shopping Center Proposed For Kennebunk
Kennebunk may host a new state class shopping complex across from Route 1 near the Kennebunk Drive-In theater. Saco architects surveyed the site last month but withheld the client name. A national food concern plans a 7,200 square foot supermarket at the center with other stores likely to follow. Opening was hoped for next spring, pending collaboration with partners. Out-of-state interests reportedly back the project, with local real estate agents cautious.
