GetGo Café & Market is looking to bring a fueling station, convenience store and drive-through to West Carrollton. A site plan application submitted for the convenience store chain owned and operated by Pittsburgh-based Giant Eagle was approved by the city of West Carrollton on April 20. It calls for a 24-hour 6,323-square-foot store with six double-sided fuel pumps at 2100 S. Alex Road between Ohio 725 and Watertower Lane. The project is expected to breathe new life into the Imperial Square shopping center, located at “a key gateway” into West Carrollton, according to Greg Gaines, the city’s director of planning and community development.
If approved, it would be the first Dayton region location for GetGo Café+Market. Gaines said that distinction is “another indication that the city is becoming a place of choice to live, work, and play.” Involved in the project are Cincinnati-based consulting firm McBride Dale Clarion and CESO, which provides engineering, architecture, transportation, survey services, environmental, construction, interior design and more, according to documents supplied by the city. GetGo has submitted a preliminary proposal to the city of Kettering for 2932 S. Dixie Highway, where Golden Nugget Pancake House once operated, but has not given a formal proposal for the site, officials said. Site plan drawings that were part of that proposal clearly show that the existing building would need to be demolished to make way for a new 6,125-square-foot convenience store and gas pumps.
