The final tenant of the former Vowell’s Marketplace, 118 Hwy. 12, will open late spring 2025. Starkville’s Speciality Orthopedic Group, currently located at 521 S. Montgomery St. Suite 3, announced the new location coming to Highway 12 in a press release.
“It has been a privilege and an honor to serve Starkville and the Golden Triangle while working alongside the most comprehensive and well-trained orthopedic staff,” said Dr. Chad Altmyer. “The people of Starkville and the surrounding communities deserve the best and it is truly an honor to deliver that product and continue to expand and show our commitment to you.”
The new facility will be 12,715 square feet, 118 Hwy. 12 W. Suite C, and features 16 exam rooms, one procedure room, two digital x-ray systems, and more than 3,000 square feet dedicated to physical therapy. Throughout construction of the new location, the current clinic will remain open 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Fridays.
The shopping center, owned by Roy Oswalt through his company 44 Properties, was officially listed for sale earlier this month. Oswalt finished renovating the former grocery store in 2023. The shopping center is currently listed for sale on Loopnet for $9 million. With more than 62,000 square feet, the shopping center includes Miskelly Furniture, Ace Hardware and soon to be Specialty Orthopedic Group.
Also in town, Starkville Main Street Association Holiday Bazaar returns for its 52nd annual holiday event 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Thursday and Friday at the Mill at MSU. This year’s event features various vendors from nearly 100 local artisans, craftsmen, bakers and more.
Thanksgiving is creeping around the corner and there’s a couple options locally to make sure you’re ready for the best meal of the year.
There’s several options to choose from throughout our area, and I’m sure I’m missing a few, but you can check out these restaurants to make your Thanksgiving a little less stressful. Order everything you need from Starkville’s Two Brothers by Friday, East MS Wholesale by Monday, Columbus Lion Hills Country Club by 10 a.m. Friday and Bulley’s Lodge in Caledonia by Sunday.
Also in Columbus, Cracker Barrel offers Heat ‘n Serve meals Nov. 23-Dec. 1 and requires at least a 24-hour notice before pick up.
If you’re cooking on your own, make sure you do the turkey math and get that bird defrosted before the big day. Enjoy the holidays and all the football games. See y’all next week.
