Capital City Grocery: Food Fight
Nothing says we’re in for a hard winter like making a cold, rainy trip to the store and buying the last bag of flour from a nearly empty shelf, like I did this week. Luckily, the troubles at Capital City Grocery have little to do with the current US economy or the sporadic life cycle of downtown business. The store’s second round of ownership has developed into a paralyzing legal battle. Conan McClain, developer of Seaboard Station, has been an investor since the store opened. According to Alex, a Capital City Grocery employee who asked not to be identified, McClain developed Seaboard with a grocery store in mind for that space. Of the store’s problems, Alex brushes aside fears about the store’s finances. “There’s plenty of money,” he says, “it’s just the Weems. It has been the Wild West, to say the least.”
