Konover Construction Corp. completes Ocean State Job Lot's 30,000 s/f building in Meriden Parkade SC

Konover Construction Corp. has completed the 30,000 s/f Ocean State Job Lot, in the Meriden Parkade Shopping Center located at 1201 E. Main Street. This is the first time the popular discount retail chain has built a brand new store instead of renovating an existing one, as is typical. The highly detailed project took 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 company built a new entrance and 2.5-acre parking lot. The end of the building is now joined to the existing shopping center.
