Levy announces May 1 groundbreaking for new El Con Levy store
Groundbreaking for an $8 million Levy store at El Con Shopping Center is set for May 1 as Federated Stores plans to replace the downtown Tucson Pennington Street shop with an El Con facility. The downtown store will close between February 10 and 15, with 33 sales staff moving to El Con and 80 employees retained in other roles. Demolition of the El Conquistador Hotel is planned within 30 days to clear space for the Levy project and a nearby J C Penny Co store.
