Knoxville Central Business Improvement District looks for grocer

According to a report in the Knoxville News-Sentinel, The Central Business Improvement District is listening to competing developers who each want financial assistance to launch a downtown grocery store. Nick DeVore, whose family operates Litton’s Market & Restaurant, a fixture in the Knox County restaurant scene located in Fountain City, said he's looking at a 3,600-square foot project in the first floor 418 South Gay Street. Jeffrey Nash is looking at an urban grocery at the corner of Summitt Hill Drive and Gay Street. Demand has apparently resulted from condominium development downtown.
