Pro Con Inc completes 100,000 s/f Market Basket store in Manchester

Pro Con Inc has completed the new 100,000 s/f Market Basket store located at the corner of Elm and West Auburn Sts. in downtown Manchester. RMD Inc of Tewksbury, Mass. developed the store for Demoulas Super Markets Inc and the Market Basket stores. Prellwitz/Chilinski Associates Inc of Cambridge, Mass. was the project architect and Pro Con Inc of Manchester, N.H. was the general contractor for the project, which included the supermarket, as well as, space for retail tenants. "The ribbon cutting ceremony for the new store took place on April 24th and the store opened to eager customers the same day," said the project manager for Pro Con Inc. "The new store features a Market's Café, a Market's Kitchen, and an in-store bakery. Pro Con Inc completed construction of the free-standing Elm Street stair tower that leads customers from the street level to the front entrance of the store in advance of the grand opening." The Market Basket store was designed and built to be LEED certified. As part of the extensive renovation project, Pro Con Inc demolished a portion of the structure including exterior walls and the existing concrete slab. Pro Con Inc recycled 95% of the demolished construction waste material from the former building, diverting tons of debris from the landfills. DeMoulas Super Markets, Inc. operates Market Basket stores throughout Massachusetts and New Hampshire.
