ELLISON BAY, Wis. The owner of the Ellison Bay landmark destroyed in a deadly propane blast last summer plans to rebuild her historic store and open it by the first anniversary of the explosion.
Carol Newman says blueprints have been drawn for a new Pioneer Grocery Store on Highway 42. The old one was lost in last July’s explosions that also rocked a cottage at the nearby Cedar Grove Resort, killing a Michigan couple and injuring their children.
Newman was asleep in the apartment above her store, but escaped serious injury.
She’s working closely with her contractors to make sure the new store looks a lot like the old one. Grounbreaking is expected this spring.
Meanwhile, new vacation units at the Cedar Grove Resort should be complete by spring.
