When will theGYMkc: River Market relocate to its new home down the street?
While things are moving forward, we're not quite sure on the "when." When it comes to permitting and construction, nothing ever moves as fast as we want it to. My best guestimate at this point is early summer [hopefully, sometime in early July ... fingers crossed, but I hesitate to say for sure. We don't want to over promise.
The good news is, the Uptown move is still fresh in our minds, and that all went pretty smoothly. We already have a team and plan in place for getting things moved and set up. We like to draw maps/layouts, and those are already done. We will have to close for a short time to move all of the flooring and equipment. I'm cautiously estimating 2-3 weeks for moving to be completed. Uptown took ~10 days [two 5-day work weeks]. Some of the factors with the River Market move will take a little more time: more things to move, and farther ... BUT some factors will make it faster: loading docks at both locations will speed up the truck loading/unloading process. It's crazy how much time picking things up and putting them back down with a truck's lift gate will eat up, and we get to avoid that this time!
Much like we did with Uptown, some of the moving can be done concurrently with finishing work on the new spot to help minimize down time.
I guess that's the long way of saying, we're not 100% on the when; and yes, we will have to close for a little bit to move ... but Westside and Uptown will still be fully operational if you want to jump over to one of those during that time. Regardless, once we get a little closer, we'll give everyone as much notice as we can on when we will need to close to move and when we plan to be back open in the new spot.
I hope you are as excited as we are for our new home. Thanks for being a part of theGYMkc!
