Chef’Store will replace furniture outlet on Mooney
The owner of the former Best Buy store in Packwood Creek on south Mooney will replace the current tenant – Savon Furniture with a US Foods ChefStore in coming months. The realtor handling the deal says the 30,000sf store has now been leased to the Chef’Store chain while Savon Furniture is looking for a new location to land.”They were an interim user” says the realtor after many months the storefront sat empty.
US Chef’Store says on their website that they are the “go-to food and kitchen supply warehouse for restaurants across the country. Their warehouse-format stores cater to the foodservice industry, but are also convenient one-stop-shops for home cooks as well.”
Customers choose CHEF’STORE to not only take advantage of a huge selection of competitively priced products they say.
Chef’Stores are almost all in northern California with their current southernmost location in Modesto. The company has applied to do tenant improvements at the Visalia building at the southern end of the Packwood Creek center.
