Madisonville’s new $30 million retail center, located on Whittington Drive, is already creating a buzz, with local economic development officials noting the impact on the city’s economy and community.

Officials report that some stores are seeing first-week sales two to three times above what they anticipated compared to national trends. They added that this success is reducing retail leakage, increasing tax revenue, and bringing more customers to Madisonville’s existing restaurants, shops, and services.

Officials emphasized that retail projects like this play a key role in economic development by keeping spending local, creating jobs, attracting visitors, and improving amenities that help retain and recruit workers.

With more stores set to open soon, officials say the project will further boost the local economy and strengthen the community.
