Shirley Young, President of the Meadowthorpe Neighborhood Association said “We are extremely thrilled and excited to have Kroger as our newest neighbor! We appreciate all that Mr. Cole has done to enhance our neighborhood shopping center and entice Kroger to this location. CONGRATULATIONS!”

Bob Cole, Principal Broker of Coleman Group and an investor in Palm Lakes, LLC, which owns the property, represented both parties in the Kroger transaction. He also represented the Landlord in the Starbucks transaction, along with Paul Ray Smith and Jim Kemper of NAI Isaacs who represented Starbucks.
