Current Projects
Port Angeles is watching as its new Wal-Mart Supercenter is currently being
built directly across from the old Wal-Mart store on the east end of Port
Angeles. The new location has been a vacant commercial property for
years, previously occupied by a K-Mart store. That K-Mart store went
out of business a couple of years after Wal-Mart opened their store in Port
Angeles. This new Wal-Mart will be a Supercenter, so it will offer
much more to the community in products and services, and that will give
Wal-Mart a much greater gross profit.
Under contract with ESI out of Boise, Idaho, J. R. Hayes & Sons, Inc. will
be performing the vast amount of site work, less utilities and paving.
This work will include the demolition of the existing K-Mart store and the
existing utilities, large amounts of select import for pad and parking lot
construction, fine grading and offsite work on the heavily traveled Highway
101 and adjacent cross streets. This fast tracked project began in the
rains of December and is scheduled for completion the end of August 2010.
