All businesses are open during the remodel to the facades of the Parkwood Plaza mall.

The Sherwin-Williams, Whistle Workwear, Mediterranean Bakery and Market, and JoAnn's facades are done except for new signage.

The second phase of Iora Health, Pho Restaurant, Philippine American Market, Acupuncture Clinic, the Martial Arts dojo and Arcane Comics has started. Those businesses will remain open but with disruption to the parking spaces in front.

Phase three will move to Aurora Prints and the Korean BBQ Restaurant when phase two is complete.

Phase four, Starbucks is now being excavated. The prep work for the foundation is in progress. The exterior work for phases 1-3 will look similar to the Safeway remodel that was done a few years ago making the Parkwood Plaza have a consistent appearance.

Businesses always suffer during construction. Shoppers are encouraged to continue to patronize these stores and keep them healthy financially during this disruption.
