Years of planning and months of site preparation came to fruition Thursday when officials broke ground on a new nearly 13,000 square-foot grocery store in Jenks.

GreenAcres Market is the third project in the Village on Main development, behind Utica Park Clinic and Waterfront Grill, but the first building to go up in the heart of the planned commercial, office and residential development located south and west of the intersection of Main Street and Aquarium Drive.

Village On Main owner and developer Duane Phillips called the new store the "cornerstone" of his vision.

The 12,000 square-foot organic and natural foods market will be the third GreenAcres facility. The first opened in 1994 in Wichita, Kan., and another opened later in Kansas City, Mo.

Shannon Hoffman, co-owner, said GreenAcres Market is focused not only with providing its customers with the best natural, organic and locally-grown food, but also educating the community on healthy living.

The market will host regular in-store classes to encourage customers to make healthy food choices and seminars held by wellness experts, she said.
