Beall's Moving Into New 55,000-SF Store

ORLANDO-Gambling that the nearby new $129 million, 350,000-sf new Florida Hospital Waterman, scheduled to open in July 2003, will generate increased sales, Clearwater, FL-based Beall’s Department Stores Inc. is moving its Eustis store from the 200,000-sf Eustis Square shopping center to the 300,000-sf Eustis Village Shopping Center, three miles away.

Beall’s is putting Phil Knuth in charge of the new 55,000-sf store, larger than the previous 30,000-sf location.

Knuth is transferring from Beall’s Orlando store to be senior store manager in Eustis and area supervisor for five other Beall’s units in Central Florida.
