In response to the person who wondered what happened to Hy-Vee, the 156,000-square-foot convenience store-grocery store and fuel station that wanted to build on the Ford property (south along Kingston Pike, about 3/4 mile west of the Pike/Campbell Station Road intersection), the reason Hy-Vee is not there is because it was totally incompatible and was invasive to the property and to the residential neighborhood it would have been in the middle of.
It was going to be very problematic, and traffic concerns and safety concerns were at the top of the list. The people of Farragut did not want Hy-Vee in that location, and let our Town officials know it. And the Town officials listened.
