Aiken said he expected the project to be completed later this summer, noting that installation of the new facility's roof and other infrastructure is still being completed.

"It's a pretty simple project so my guess is it'll probably (open) around July. Somewhere in that time frame," Aiken said.

In addition to Floor Trader, which will be located immediately west of near the Ballwin Athletic Association, the project includes a separate building with space for up to six businesses, to be located between Floor Trader and . A project manager on site Tuesday said he did not believe those spaces were rented yet.
