HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A local business is working to relocate to a new building on West 5th and Monroe.

The owner of Egbert Liquor is making plans to construct a new building adjacent to the small existing one on the southeast corner of the intersection. Owner Roy Freeman says they will build a new retail space and use the existing building for storage. Plans are to break ground by Aug. 1 and be in business by Dec. 1.

His plans for the new retail space will go before the city planning commission. Freeman wants to utilize the alleyway on Monroe as the entrance for the business.

Freeman needs to relocate because of Kwik Shop’s expansion next door.
