Construction and Expansion Update

“The new Esentials 3, the largest and fanciest of the Essentials shops at Turning Stone, opened last Saturday in time for the Brooks & Dunn concert at the Event Center. The new store offers more resort logo items, as well as the usual magazines, snacks, bottles drinks and sundries of Essentials and Essentials too. Essentials 3 is open 24 hours and has a staff of 15. it features gold-toned wallpaper and carpeting matching that in the Event Center's main corridor, as well as wooden shelvingsimilar to that in the pro shop at Shenendoah Clubhouse. The main entrance, is always open; another entrance, facing the Event Center coridor, can be opened when there are activities in the arena. Work continues elsewhere around the resort. The temporary wall off the elevator foyer, which seperated the far end of The Garden from the Smokin' corridor, has been removed. When work is completed on the elevator foyer, the new Opals in The Garden will open. Also last week, crews were erecting the walls for the temporary entrance to the new Golf Dome, next to the resort's cogeneration plant at the corner of Patrick and Snyder roads. The Golf Dome is slated to open in the next several weeks. Work has begun on the new warehouse for the resort's Purchasing Department on Route 31 behind the SavOn Diesel. Crews began erecting the skeleton for the warehouse earlier this month. The new warehouse is a modular design to allow for expansion as needed; it will provide much needed dry and refrigerated storage space, allowing the resort to lower its per-unit costs on dozens of items.
