Should be a good addition to that corner/neighborhood.

Agreed, I simply hope the city manages to re-do the intersection before construction is completed or it could be one huge cluster F*** for traffic if they don't. 

Boy, if it's anything like the one in Bixby, it will be a huge plus to that corner.

But traffic will be a problem.  The parking in Bixby is very large, but even weeks after opening that place is packed.

I wouldn't call the Sprouts parking in Bixby "very large".   We'll see what happens when the new wears off.

My mom doesn't walk distances very well and she still hasn't been able to get a spot close enough to the store door despite several attempts at various times of the day.

My wife and I went for the first time over the weekend. We ended up parking on the street behind the store. If it had been me I would have continued down the road to Reasor's, but the Queen wanted to see what Sprout's was all about.

Is this the same franchise that is currently at 26th & Harvard?

No, it's a grocery store.  The Sproutz at 26th & Harvard is a restaurant.  Great short rib sandwich!

I had such a hard time keeping away from the reuben sandwich that I had to stop going at all.

Sprouts at 41st:  I'll be bitterly disappointed if the parking faces the street.  I have a feeling I'm going to be disappointed.

Also, 41st and Harvard is scheduled for upgrades that are slated to start sometime in the spring.  I'm guessing now it will be summer.  At least that would help with pre and post Edison traffic.

And hopefully it will include a right turn lane northbound.

I made a trip by there last week and had to park on the street behind, but the prices that first week were so low that it was worth it.  Stocked up on all my fruits and veggies for less than $30.  I stopped in today at about 4:30 and had no problem finding a parking spot.  Prices weren't as good as before, but still pretty low.  I'll be interested in seeing what kinds of prices are there after the sale.

That, and demolition of the gross convenience store on the corner.

It may be a shrine now since one of the clerks was murdered in a robbery some time ago.

This has been in the works for some time.  I really hoped they would love it to 31st and Harvard where the Homeland was.  But oh well...  will still be a good addition.

If you are talking in the last couple of years that was 36th & Harvard, not 41st.

That dump at 41st wouldn't look out of place in 1970s rural Mississippi.
