SOUTH BURLINGTON - There's no move-in date, but crews are preparing the former Kmart Plaza on Shelburne Road for the arrival of a Hannaford supermarket.

Interior demolition is underway at the former Kmart store, which closed two years ago. Upgrades to sewer lines beneath the parking lot and stormwater systems will continue through early spring, said Maine-based Hannaford spokeswoman Ericka Dodge on Tuesday.

Hannaford currently operates store on an adjacent parcel, tucked next to Lowe's. The move, onto property already owned by Hannaford and into an existing building, has undergone a relatively seamless review process — compared to the company's eight-year struggle to open a supermarket in Hinesburg.
