Hyde Park Co op unveils rebuilt store at 175000 cost
The Hyde Park Co op converted an old ice house into a large self service market costing 175000 with members investing over 100000 more. Architects George Fred Keck and William Keck designed the remodel. The store features a pre packed meat and produce area, the largest frozen food department in the city, new equipment, eight foot aisles, seven sections, a children’s play area and four shopping carts per aisle. It aims to handle 2 million in annual volume, up from a prior 1 million. The manager says the community redevelopment plan includes a new shopping center along 55th street and continued Co op involvement in future development.
