Konover Construction Corp. has completed the newest store for Ocean State Job Lot, in the Meriden Parkade Shopping Center located at 1201 E. Main St. This is the very first time the popular discount retail chain has built a new store instead of renovating an existing one, as is typical. Ocean State Job Lot opened the new 30,000 s/f store in November.
The highly detailed project took approximately six months to complete. Konover built the store from the ground up, demolishing two existing structures, as well as cleaning and grading a parcel of land that was adjacent to the existing Meriden Parkade center. The Ocean State Job Lot project was $1.7 million in construction cost and $1.7 million in site work. The company built a new entrance and 2.5 acre parking lot. The end of the new Ocean State Job Lot building is now joined to the existing shopping center.
