Metro Market
Stevens Point, WI
Delivery Method: Design Build
Architect: Ellis Construction
Roundy’s Supermarkets, Inc. selected Ellis Construction to design and build a new Copps store in Stevens Point. The store is larger than a football field with over 71,000 square feet. A few of the many features found in the store are as follows:
- Large glass entry
- Polished concrete floors
- Expanded produce section
- A café with a fireplace
- Extensive bakery and deli options
- Enhanced meat market
- Pharmacy
- Liquor and wine shop
Roundy’s had an aggressive schedule. Work began the middle of March, construction completion was the middle of July, and the grand opening was the first week of August. The time schedule was accomplished by the architect, project manager, and superintendent monitoring the schedule and working closely with subcontractors. Utilizing the design-build process ensured that subcontractors were aware of the schedule and the date when work was to be completed. The store became an overnight sensation in Stevens Point. The large and inviting store has provided the community a shopping option unlike any other in town and is a model for Roundy’s to use in future stores.
