A new multi-tenant commercial building site plan was approved Monday by the City of Shelbyville Plan Commission which keeps a project that will bring Smoothie King and Wingstop to the city moving forward.

The new building will be located at 1830 State Road 44 at the east end of the Rivergate subdivision near the Bureau of Motor Vehicles.

The 3,000 square-foot building will be equally split between Wingstop and Smoothie King, which will have a drive-thru lane for service.

MAP Shelbyville, LLC is the business owner with Morgan Highum serving as owner and franchisee of the two retail facilities.

There are still conditions to be met before construction can begin, including the finalization of the purchase of the one-acre property that will stand alone from the Rivergate businesses.

In addition, the city engineer must approve a drainage report, which had not yet been submitted as of Monday night’s meeting at City Hall, and staff approval of the landscape plan that was not yet finalized.

Wingstop features wings, fries and sides, according to its website (wingstop.com).

Smoothie King offers countless combinations for fruits, vegetables and nutritional enhancers to deliver a blend to meet your individual goals, according to its website (smoothieking.com).

Both retails outlets will purposely be designed with limited seating. Only eight seats will be in each outlet.

“With Wingstop, 75%, if not more, is delivery and take out,” said Steven Kolber of Kolbrook Design, the petitioner’s representative. “Not a lot of people sit and eat in Wingstops anymore. The capacity is designed to be grab-and-go.”

Once the site development plan is fully approved, the plan is to break ground as quickly as possible, according to Kolber.
