Gun Range Sought For Site Next To Wendy's, U-Gas

The city of Ballwin's Planning and Zoning Commission will hold a public hearing on the request next month.

Wendy's has been open since January. Work is beginning that will bring a U-Gas Convenience Store, gas station and car wash to the neighboring plat at what was formerly Rothman Furniture. What's next for the site? Possibly, an indoor gun range. The city of Ballwin's Planning and Zoning Commission will hold a public hearing June 3 to hear the request of Hindo, L.L.C. to allow for indoor shooting ranges as an allowed use under special exemptions. Hindo, LLC owns American Arms and Supply in Ballwin. Patch will be speaking with a representative of the company about the proposal. What would you like us to ask?

U-Gas Aims For September Opening In Ballwin

The convenience store will be located next to the new Wendy's on Manchester Road.

According to a company executive, work to build the U-Gas convenience store and gas station along Manchester Road on the former Rothman Furniture site should begin this week.

Wendy's Progress: Still Anticipating Opening by Year's End

More than a dozen workers were hard at work in and around the new hamburger restaurant this week. The new restaurant is located at Manchester Road and Seven Trails Drive—formerly Rothman Furniture.

The shape of a new Wendy's restaurant is apparent now, as construction buzzes around the building, situated at the top of the hill at Manchester Road and Seven Trails Drive, the former site of a Rothman Furniture store. "They have not set an official date yet but they are hoping to open it by year end," said Ballwin Mayor Tim Pogue. "It will be close. I have spoken with many residents and there is a lot of excitement over this new business to Ballwin." Ballwin city planner Tom Aiken said the target date for the opening was Dec. 18, but had no update beyond that. Developer Bill Biermann of W.B.

Food at Ballwin Wendy's On Track to Bear Developer-Imposed Tax

A divided Ballwin City Council recently voted not to interfere with plans from a local developer that would create a Transportation Development District around the planned Wendy's and U-Gas businesses at the former Rothman Furniture site.

The Wendy's restaurant and U-Gas planned for the former Rothman Furniture site in Ballwin are likely to be subject to an additional sales tax following a request by the project's developer and a passive motion by Ballwin board members. The decision would result in the creation of a Transportation Development District or TDD, which would place an additional 1 percent sales tax on all transactions within the district. Funds garnered by the TDD by law are required to be used for transportation improvements, which developer Bill Biermann of W.B. Biermann in Chesterfield said would go toward the cost of implementing pavement, retaining walls, infrastructure for storm water drainage and street lights. Like the one in place for the Schnucks …
