This space at the corner of McKinley and Vine streets could one day host part of a new Gordy’s County Market grocery store and gas station complex. A variance granted by the city’s zoning board in November would allow the store to exceed the usual 50-foot setback from McKinley and Vine streets. Gordy’s County Market officially acquired the property last month.

Land purchased by Gordy’s County Market late last year could eventually bring another gas and grocery option to the city.

The Chippewa Falls-based grocery chain recently bought an available parcel of land on Mondovi’s west side bordered by McKinley and Vine streets and U.S. Highway 10. A timeline for construction has not yet been set, but David Schafer, VP of Finance for Gordy’s, said plans call for a 23,000 square foot store with a gas station.

“We’ve been looking at Mondovi for years,” commented Schafer. “It’s just so central to us.”

A variance was also granted at the request of Gordy’s for the property, approved by the city’s zoning board of appeals on Nov. 12. The variance would allow the new market to be closer than 50 feet from the sideyard setbacks on Vine and McKinley streets, providing that any outside lighting is shielded from the residential properties nearby.

City administrator Dan Lauersdorf explained at the Dec. 9 City Council meeting that Gordy’s was requesting permission for its store to be closer than 50 feet on the McKinley and Vine street sides of the property to allow for a loading dock area. Gordy’s now owns that entire city block, Lauersdorf said.

Gordy’s has added several new stores to its holdings within the past few years. The company’s markets now branch out into the greater Chippewa Valley area with locations in Osseo, Augusta and Arcadia in addition to its newest grocery store acquisition in Stanley.

A store in Mondovi would bring Gordy’s County Market up to a total of 18 locations, Schafer said.

“We’re just excited to come,” he said of pursuing a new store in Mondovi. “We’ve had really good success and we’re looking to continue that.”
