Construction of Yucaipa Rite Aid Pharmacy Center on schedule

Construction was busy on the Rite Aid Pharmacy, Monday, Nov. 10.

YUCAIPA - The Lake Development Rite Aid Pharmacy Center at the southwest corner of Oak Glen Road and Bryant Street has been under contstruction since about mid-June, said Superintendent,Mike McCasland, of Spears Construction, Inc.

McCasland said the project is proceeding on schedule and expected to be completed the first week of February 2009. "The project is going well so far," he said. "Everyone has been really cooperative. This is definitely a good corner (for a shopping center.)"

Along with the Rite Aid Pharmacy, the center will include a retail building with six tenant spaces and a drive through fast food restaurant, of which a tenant has not been determined yet.

Shoppers will be able to access the center from two entrances on Bryant Street and one on Oak Glen Road. The center will serve the north side of Yucaipa, which has experienced a steady growth of new housing units over the past several years.

A Stater Bros Market is located on the east side of Bryant Street directly across the road from the center.
