Supermarket, Stores Planned for Former Car Dealership Site

An Upland-based developer has entered into escrow to purchase the long-vacant Foulger Ford car dealership site in Arcadia.

Other developers have considered the land since the dealership closed in 1992, but no deal came through. If the plans by Lewis Homes to construct a 55,000-square-foot supermarket and two other retail stores on the property materialize, it would be a boon for Arcadia, City Manager Bill Kelly said.

“It would be a shot in the arm,” Kelly said. “It’s been sitting vacant for so long. . . . It’s just a real visible piece of property.”
