October 24, 2022, MCCORDSVILLE, IN. – Hancock County based, Pride Investment Partners’ Owner Keith White and Chief Investment Officer, Wade Etheredge, joined Rebar Development and Town of McCordsville officials to officially break ground on the first phase of McCord Square, a $50 million town center district mixed-use master development located at the southeast corner of Broadway Ave. (SR 67) and Mt.

PRIDE INVESTMENT PARTNERS DONATES LAND, BUILDING TO TOWN OF GALVESTON

Land of .3 acres and 3,100-square-foot building included in donation

GALVESTON, IN DECEMBER 24, 2021 – Pride Investment Partners, a real estate and private equity investment company based in Greenfield, Indiana, recently donated land and a building worth nearly $50,000 to the town of Galveston.

The site, at 306 S. California Street in Galveston, contains .3 acres of land and a building measuring 3,100 square feet, according to Keith White, partner with the company. Pride Investment Partners owned the land through the acquisition of the Red Barn gas station chain in central and northern Indiana –  when the GasAmerica gas stations were in operation, he said.

“That particular store was too close to one of our newer GasAmerica locations,” he said. “Rather than converting Red Barn into another GasAmerica, as a company we decided it made the most sense to close this location altogether. So, we rented it to the town, who utilized it for its police and town hall. We are grateful to be able to turn over ownership of this land to the city for their continued use.”

Galveston Town Council President Wes Hull said the building has been used as the police department for some 8 years and as the town hall for 5 years. He said the previous lease had been a good deal, and now that the town owns the building, leaders look forward to keeping their departments there for years to come.

“We got the deed this month,” he said. “It’s like a Christmas present for the town.”

Galveston is a town in Cass County, with a population of about 1,226 according to the 2019 United States Census, and is located in north central Indiana.

LEO’S MARKET & EATERY TO OPEN 3RD LOCATION IN MCCORDSVILLE

Leo’s Market and Eatery

For Immediate Release

 

LEO’S MARKET & EATERY TO OPEN 3RD LOCATION IN MCCORDSVILLE

    Hybrid grocery and eatery offering fresh, local options is experiencing exponential growth

 

OCTOBER 2020, MCCORDSVILLE, INDIANA – Leo’s Market & Eatery recently began construction on its third store; it is expected to employ about 40 people and slated to open in early 2022 in McCordsville, Indiana.  The 7,200-square-foot hybrid grocery and eatery, located at the intersection of County Road 900 North and Olio Road, will join Leo’s flagship location in Greenfield and its Noblesville store, which successfully opened in 2021.

 

You can fuel-up at Leo’s, however, not on gasoline alone.  Leo’s uniquely combines the best features of a convenience store and a local grocery store with an always-fresh eatery.  Leo’s aims to provide convenience for families trying to make healthy choices with limited time. The focus of the store and its employees is to help each customer conquer their day.  The large store footprint allows ample room for the market to showcase its fresh produce, breads, cheeses, a wide selection of beverages and fresh-ground bean-to-cup coffee.  In the eatery, Executive Chef Matt Chappell offers freshly prepared bakery items, including Leo’s signature kolaches – a type of pastry stuffed or topped with sweet or savory filling — as well as the eatery’s highly customizable Power Bowls, salads, and popular house-made soups.

“Leo’s is not your typical ‘convenience store.’  We pride ourselves on providing chef-inspired meals and made-to-order salads and pastas at our eatery with that quick and convenient factor still there; even offering a drive-thru option for those on the go.  Not only can you get made-to-order food, but you can also pick up market items like milk, fresh produce, or a bouquet of flowers without having to get out of your car,” said Stephanie White-Longworth, President of Leo’s Market and Eatery.

Leo’s offers special deals every week via its rewards program, weekly food tastings of its products, and is dedicated to ‘giving back’ to each community in which it resides; and McCordsville will be no different.  One of the core values of the company is to give back; an effort bolstered by a paycheck contribution program matched by the company and dine-to-donate events held monthly which benefit local nonprofit organizations.
