Mannsdale Sullivan’s coming in 2023
Sullivan’s, a corner grocery store touting top-notch meat and produce departments, is set to open in Gluckstadt this January while another location at Mannsdale is expected to gain county approval this week and be open by the summer of 2023.
“We are excited to get these stores opened up, and we are pushing to get this done as fast as we can,” said Parker Sullivan, vice president of operations for the New Hebron-based company that already has a Flora location. “We want Gluckstadt residents to have a grocery store nearby, so they don’t need to drive into Madison to get groceries.”
Sullivan’s is under construction on the west side of Calhoun Station Parkway near the historic St. Joseph Catholic Church in Gluckstadt.
The Mannsdale location will be at the intersection of Mississippi 463 and Gluckstadt Road and should be opening in the summer 2023.
Sullivan said the Calhoun Station location is coming along smoothly. Macintosh Construction out of Brandon finished the foundation last Saturday and plans to begin construction on the steel frame of the building next week.
“All materials are on hand,” Sullivan said. “Once the steel frame of the building is complete, they will start enclosing the building with roof and walls.”
Sullivan said the Mannsdale location's property is under contract and is expected to close in September.
Sullivan said after finalizing the Gluckstadt location they determined there is enough growth in the area for two grocery stores.
“We hope to start on the Mannsdale location in the summer of 2022, and we aim for construction to take around a year and have it done roughly around the summer of 2023,” Sullivan said.
“We realized both sides of town need something like this because it’s a long trip for people in Gluckstadt to go get groceries in Madison. Sullivan’s will offer top-notch meat and produce departments, a deli with a variety of menu items, and a lot more. I think people will enjoy what we’ll bring to the community.”
On Thursday at the Madison County Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, Sullivan’s is expected to present a site plan for the Mannsdale store.
The development has already been approved by the Mannsdale-Livingston Heritage Preservation District.
In December 2019, Cress Group CEO Gary Cress said of the development where the Sullivan’s will be located: "This is the final part of a 20-year development of an overlay district that we started 16 years ago. We’ve developed all the residential area out there, and the site of this project is already zoned for commercial use, we have just been waiting for enough people to move out there. Now they are there."
