Park Street Market

Park Street Market moving south.

Park Street Market – Closed and Moved 2010

Park Street Market is relocating south. The move is a significant one, as it involves the iconic Park Street Market, a long-standing establishment in Weiser. The market has been a staple of the community for years, offering a wide range of goods and services to residents and visitors alike.

The decision to move the market south has been met with mixed reactions from the community. While some see it as a positive step forward, others are concerned about the impact it will have on the local economy. However, the owners of the market are confident that the move will ultimately benefit both the business and the community as a whole.

In addition to the relocation of the market, there are also plans in place to revitalize the area around Park Street. The Weiser City Council has been working on a number of initiatives to improve the area, including the installation of a new canopy over the gas station and the renovation of the surrounding buildings.

Original Park Street Station and Market

One of the key projects currently underway is the renovation of the Weiser Chevron station. The station, which has been a fixture in the community for decades, is undergoing a major overhaul to modernize its facilities and improve its services.

The Farmers Supply Co-op has also finalized its purchase of the Weiser Chevron station, with plans to move the Park Street Market to the location by early November. The move is part of the co-op’s broader efforts to expand its presence in the area and provide more options for local residents.

Overall, the changes taking place in the Park Street area are indicative of the ongoing growth and development happening in Weiser. While there may be some uncertainty surrounding the changes, there is also a sense of excitement about the future of the community and the opportunities that lie ahead.

Weiser Chevron Station

The completion of a real estate transaction early last month is bringing some big changes inside the Weiser limits on Highway 95. Sometime after a “for sale” sign went up in front of the Chevron station near the Weiser River Bridge last spring, Farmers Supply Co-op (FSC) began looking at the location’s possibilities, as well as entering negotiations on a purchase price.

Now, with La Tejanita putting in its last day of business at the Chevron site last Saturday, in about a month, Park Street Market, a Weiser icon at the corner of Park Street and Highway 95 for as long as anyone can remember, will close its doors and move into the new digs two blocks south of there.

Once the purchase was completed, FSC General Manager Steve Mendiola went to the Weiser City Council for clearance to widen the access into the 28-pump area at the station on the Commercial Street side of the building.

During a special Weiser City Council meeting held, Mendiola asked for and received an approval to increase the access onto Commercial Street by an additional 10 feet, returning the access to what it had been prior to the building’s construction in 2004. The concrete on access reconstruction was poured last week.

Mendiola said FSC has also submitted a request to the Idaho Transportation Department to add 10 feet to the curb cut on Highway 95, making that access a full 40 feet, the maximum allowed by the state.

During the Council meeting, Weiser Police Chief Greg Moon addressed some of his own safety concerns, saying the wider access on Commercial may not give southbound Highway 95 traffic turning onto Commercial enough stopping distance between the corner and cars exiting the station. Mendiola said additional plans include removing decorative shrubbery, which should open the view from the highway to the access area on Commercial.

Last week Mendiola said the 3,048 sq. foot building will provide a much larger space than the old Park Street building for products and additional services in the store.

“The propane will be moved, and we will continue to fill bottles at the new location,” Mendiola said.

He said FSC is still working on food service options for the restaurant side of the building.

“We will have something in there, but we’re just not sure what yet,” he said.

Mendiola said he doesn’t expect the move to take place before the first of November.

“We have to repair the canopy over the gas islands, reface the dispensers and put in some electrical, but we’re moving forward,” he said.

As for the old Park Street corner, Mendiola said FSC hasn’t made any plans for the property.

“There’s no definite plan,” he said, “It’s been there forever and has been a great location, but at this time, we don’t have anything planned to go there.
