Show 4 West Bountiful City welcomes Shoplco - h Bv MICHELLE EMERY : WEST BOUNTIFUL--Construction on the Shopko project began in West Bountiful Thursday, June 28 and is scheduled for completion com-pletion March 1, 1991. The 28-acre project will include a six-plex theater owned and operated by Consolidated Theaters, a toy store, fine apparel stores, restaurants, and at least two major department stores. The theatre is scheduled to be finished Aug. 14,1991. Steve Smoot of Sky Properties, developer of the project, thinks of this as a project that will "provide the kind of shopping necessary to keep people in south Davis County to shop." Smoot says presently most people go to Salt Lake or Layton to shop. With 320,000 square feet of shopping, however, that will probably change. The groundbreaking was held on Wednesday, June 28. "We are very pleased and excited about the development de-velopment and commitment that Sky Properties and Price Development De-velopment have put into this project," pro-ject," said Carl Johnson, mayor of West Bountiful and one of the speakers at the groundbreaking. Johnson said the location is ideal for easy access on and off the freeway, and he believes this center will offer many diversified shopping shopp-ing choices for the south Davis County residents.
