By: Abbi Heckel In this special episode for the Tippecanoe Gazette Greg Enslen, along with City Manager Eric Mack as well as Brad Doudican head of Woodard Development to give you the insider scoop on the once abandoned grocery store in Tipp City, Ohio. What Happened to the Grocery Store? The space started out as a Food Town. Tipp Cities very own local grocery store that unfortunately fell on hard times and was no longer able to keep up with expenses. That’s when La Plaza Tapitia stepped into the spotlight as a Mexican grocery store with vast cultural cuisine. La Plaza Tapitia much like its predecessor, ended up closing its doors to the public in 2022. Earlier this year in February it was decided by the Tipp City council that the property was to be purchased and updated to help bring in more foot-traffic to the quaint town. What Do We Know Now? The once dilapidated building is already getting a breath of new life. Brad Doudican has been hard at work with Woodard Development to clean and clear out the space to prepare for upcoming renovations and for public safety measures. The Tipp City Plaza in its entirety has already turned into a brighter hub with a shiny new parking lot. The old Burger King is no longer an eyesore to passersby. As well as small beautifications to the property and new safety measures.
