According to BevMo! officials, the liquor emporium’s home has yet to be built. The 9,000-square-foot building is slated to go on a plot of land between the Golden Corral restaurant and Mancini’s Sleepworld at 2860 W. Grant Line Road, near Interstate 205
“We’re hoping to open in November,” said Liz Zaninovich, who is a licensing permit and titling specialist with BevMo!.
BevMo! carries a wide array of spirits, wines, beer, soft drinks and bar equipment.
The director of BevMo! public relations, Kris Mulkey, said the company has a few more details to work out, so the actual opening date may change. She said her company has a long list of places where they would like to build a store, and chose Tracy.
The closest BevMo! stores to Tracy are in Stockton at 6393 Pacific Ave. and Livermore at 4454 Las Positas Road.
“We’re super excited about going there,” Mulkey said. “We’re always looking for a good site with good parking, good accessibility and visibility.”
Talk of a new retail business going into the Tracy Marketplace shopping center surfaced in mid-April, when commercial real estate broker Jeff Brotman went before the Tracy Planning Commission. Brotman sought and received approval to expand the number of businesses the marketplace could advertise on the large shopping center sign adjacent to Interstate 205.
Brotman said earlier this week he was not at liberty to confirm that BevMo! was the business set to move into the shopping center by the end of the year.
Tracy has too many ghetto-low budget stores for booze.
If you don't want that you have to go to Rallies or some grocery store to get a good selection. Then you have to sit in line for 20 minutes.
It will be nice to finally see a bevmo in town.
Thank you.
Anyone who understands urban development knows that liquor stores, gun shops, and tobacco shops are the mainstay businesses in any ghetto. If you drive through the depressed areas of any small, medium or large urban area you find these businesses on every other corner.
Sounds like this is where Tracy is heading if you ask me. Thank you Mr. Mayor. Thank you City Council. Thank you Mr. City Manager.
You are successfully turning what used to be a family friendly city into a ghetto.
Bevmo is nothing more than a glorified liquor store. If this is the best the city can do then we're really in trouble.
Someone else mentioned Trader Joe's that would have been a better option than Bevmo. Why not throw a couple million at them? After all, we gave a handout to Macy's didn't we?
I apologize to change the subject here, but is there any info on the Dunkin' Donuts progess? I have not really looked (or been) in that area recently. TP, are the donuts still coming?
