Trek West, an 8,627 SF travel center on 10 acres was under construction when Love’s Truck Stop acquired the land next door and began construction.  The arrival of Loves resulted in the Trek West project being abandoned and foreclosed on by the primary lender.  The property sat vacant for nearly two years until its recent acquisition.  Krupalu Inc, and its President, Kishor Koladia acquired the property on December 30, 2016.  They plan to complete construction on the project and open the travel center for business.

“This is a great location on I-70 right in the center of the state of Utah and we are really excited about our acquisition” said Kishor.  “We worked really hard to get this transaction completed. There were a number of complications due to the property being only partially completed.  We are anxious to bring this project online and start servicing the increasing customers on I-70”.

Neil Walter with NAI Excel facilitated the transaction.  He commented, “This was a property in a difficult situation, but we were able to work through the challenges.  The Buyer and Seller were great to work with and this deal ended up working out well for both parties.”

Nearly two decades after development started on Snow Canyon Parkway, the commercial pad between Dixie Drive and Pioneer Parkway will finally see development. Harts convenience stores has acquired a 1.67 acre parcel on the corner of Snow Canyon Parkway and Dixie Drive. They anticipate starting construction in the next 12 months on a beautiful new Harts convenience store branded Phillips 66 that is designed to fit the landscaping and architectural themes consistent with the residential and community development on Snow Canyon Parkway. Representatives of Harts have already seen excitement as individuals who learned about the project commented that a store in that location is badly needed.

Dave and John Jardine, co CEOs for Harts said “Our family has had a home in Entrada for many years. We have been looking for the perfect location on the west side of St. George for a long time. We are really excited for this new site in Southern Utah”. Both Harts and the Seller were represented by Neil Walter at NAI Excel.

Harts currently operates 9 convenience stores in Utah, including a store at Exit 10 in Washington. For more information about Harts, visit their website at www.hartsgasandfood.com.
