Vowell’s Marketplace has signed a lease for the old Kroger building at Raymond and McDowell roads in South Jackson. The company plans to open a new grocery store in October which will employ 50 people and generate an estimated $9 million in sales taxes annually. Last week the Jackson City Council has approved a $50,000 grant to support the project which will serve an area in dire need of a grocery store.
John Michael Holtmann of Duckworth Realty represented Vowell’s. Jeff Kimbrell of The Shopping Center Group LLC represented the landlord. The building’s owner is an affiliate of Tower Capital LLC, a California-based Investment company.
Vowell’s Marketplace is Mississippi family owned business founded in 1945. The company employs 460 people, with eight stores in Mississippi and one in Alabama. The Raymond store will be its tenth.

It is sad when you have to pay someone to open a store in your town. What does that say about Jackon. I am sure Kenneth Stokes has the answer.

Good math rocket scientist. 8 stores in MS 1 in Al and the new one makes 10.
I’m sure the people who can read realize that and the ones that can’t, does it matter???\
Guess that makes your 500 word quota with “Tenth”!
And no I didn’t count the darn words…..
