WABASH, Ind. – One Cass Street grocer is closing this week as two other Wabash businesses make plans to move into new locations along the roadway later this year.
The Wabash Save-A-Lot will close its doors Saturday, Feb. 25.
State Farm Insurance – Brian Mallow and Mi Pueblo Mexican Restaurant will be relocating along Cass Street later this year.
Four years ago, Wabash Save-A-Lot, located at 950 Cass St., officially opened in Aug. 15, 2012.
Although Save-A-Lot is a nationwide discount grocery chain, the Wabash store is locally owned and operated.
Its closing was not commanded on the corporate level, according to Chon Tomlin, Save-A-Lot media relations representative.
Mike Doust, the Wabash facility’s general manager, declined to comment on the closure.
State Farm Insurance – Brian Mallow, currently located at 385 Manchester Ave., will be officially relocating to 563 Cass St. Tuesday, March 7, according to Mallow, State Farm Insurance agent.
“Because of the great support we received over the last eight years, we have outgrown our old office and we need room to expand,” Mallow told The Paper of Wabash County.
For more information, contact Mallow at 260-563-5446.
Mi Pueblo, currently located at 1305 Cass St., will be moving into a brand new building located between Lighthouse Missions and O’Reilly Auto Parts on Cass Street later this year, according to Gerardo Ortiz, Mi Pueblo manager.
“We want a better location,” Ortiz told The Paper. “It will be a little bigger. We’re going to have the same menu and adding a couple things.”
The restaurant will be adding a bar and outside dining at its new location, he continued.
“People asked for (the changes),” Ortiz said. “So the new facility will have its own bar and outside dining for when it’s nice and warm outside.”
Construction will begin in May and will take approximately six months to complete.
