BRIEF: Kohl's to build in Collinsville atop old Wal-Mart

Sep 19, 2008 (Belleville News-Democrat - McClatchy-Tribune News Service via COMTEX) -- KSS | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Sep. 19--COLLINSVILLE --City Council members will vote Monday on a proposal to bring Kohl's to town.

The City Planning Commission recently approved a plan to bring the big-box retailer to the former Wal-Mart location at 601 Belt Line Road in Collinsville.

U.S. Properties Group of Columbus, Ohio, bought the 99,364-square-foot building earlier this year, which was vacated after a new 204,000-square-foot Wal-Mart Supercenter opened in June 2007 at the 53-acre Collinsville Crossing shopping center off Illinois 157.

Collinsville Community Development Director Paul Mann said a new 93,000-square-foot store will be built on the site and could open before the end of next year.
