For Your Information
Last year Thurston County had several wind, rain and snow storms during the
winter months. As a result several commercial and residential members lost
power. Puget Sound Energy contracted Potelco, Inc. to help with the restoration of power services to its many customers. During this period Potelco
utilized South Sound Center’s Northwest corner of the property to house
their vehicles.
If Thurston County should have the same kind of weather that we received as
last year Potelco will once again be utilizing the same location for their vehicles. If you see those vehicles in the back lot please keep clear of the area and
do not park there during that time that they are here. They are here to help
Thurston County and its many community members.
C OMING
SOON — CARLS JR RESTAURANT
Construction will soon commence. A new Carls Jr. Restaurant will take the
place of the former Crazee Espresso. Crazee Espresso has been a part of
our community for 15 years and we wish them warm thoughts as they continue on with their endeavors. Carls Jr should be open some time after the
first of the year.
Carls Jr Restaurants serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. From the Six Dollar
Burger to the Breakfast Club Sandwich you will find something to whet your
appetite.
We thank you for being patient during their upcoming construction for this
new restaurant in our center.
