. •tmnv.iwiK» Eagle not planning to close in '85 Rumors that McHenry's Eagle Food Store is going to close in 1985 are patently false, according to a spokesman for the supermarket. Hie chain announced recently the sale of 17 Chicagoland food stores, but the McHenry facility is not one of them. In the nor­ thern Chicago area, stores on the selling block include those in Buffalo Grove, Glenview, Mount Prospect, Arlington Heights, Morton Grove ana Lincolnwood. "We lost $4-9 million in those 17 stores last year," the spokesman said. "We're essentially regrouping and the stores that are making money we are going to keep. He noted that some area stores are slated for extensive remodeling. These include the ones in Crystal Lake, Lake Zurich and two in Elgin. Slender Center schedules grand opening The Slender Center of McHenry is celebrating their grand opening on Thursday, March 14, with a special presentation for the public at 9:30 a.m. Refreshments will be served ight program. No appointment is necessary to visit between 9:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. Special discounts will be offered to visitors. Both the owner, Jean Loudon, and the manager, Barb Gomez, will be available to answer any questions about the program. Because they have both ex­ perienced success, losing over 130 pounds between the two of them, . their permanent weight loss sets a good example for all to see.. Slender Center is a counseling service for men and women who want the benefits of a per­ manent weight loss. Changing eating habits and attitudes towards weight loss are the keys to their program's philosophy. Area's springtime job forecast encouraging The McHenry Trade Center has a clean, new look outside. Scheduled to open for business soon, the McHenry Trade Center was formerly the -* Plalndealer Herald photo by Anthony Oliver Riverside Retail Outlet--a McHenry landmark for many years. Riverside Retail Outlet renewed center continues strong tradition When the Riverside Retail Outlet came on the market, it didn't take long for Larry Ekeroth and Lee Cooney to act. The building came on the market on Thursday, Ekeroth recalled. "Lee looked at it on Friday and I looked at it on Monday/' Ekeroth said. "We shook hands on it on Tuesday, made an offer on Wednesday and it was accepted on Thursday." The McHenry Trade Center, formerly the Riverside Retail Outlet, 1402 N. Riverside Drive, was put on the market in December, 1984, and the two saw an opportunity to remake the building into a mall, of sorts. On the street level, there will be about six small shops. Some of the space has already been assigned and includes a hobby shop, a junior women's store, the McHenry Trading Company, the Riverside Country Store and "Flying E" Enterprises. The country store will deal in wooden furniture, the trading company in the buying ana selling of "goods," and Flying E Enterprises a business and marketing, land development or financial consulting service. The building will keep its old- time look and the red light on the outside. Ekeroth explained that there were three red lights in town, all tied in to the police -department. When the officer in the city's lone patrol car saw one of the lights activated, he would know . there was a call and proceeded to the police station to see what it was. The other lights were „ located at the intersection of Main and Front Streets and at .the intersection of Green and Elm Streets. On the second floor, Ekeroth and Cooney envision an attic suction gallery which could also I "be used as a civic meeting place. S - There remains a lot of work to ji clean out the basement, where r there is space for another four or five shops, Ekeroth said. He added that a restaurant might take advantage of the river frontage. Along with the plans for the building, the two intend to take measures to clean up the back part of the building "We live by the old standard where a handshake is sometimes better than what 14 lawyers could put together," Ekeroth said. The springtime job outlook is excellent for the McHenry area. That is the conclusion of the Manpower, Inc. Employment Outlook Survey for the second quarter (April, May and June) of 1985. According to the service firm's survey, 43 percent of the employers interviewed expect to add staff this spring, while none plan decreases. The remaining 57 percent expect to maintain present levels. Chuck Bartels, owner of Manpower's McHenry office, said, "This represents an unusually strong seasonal up­ turn from last quarter, when 20 percent anticipated additions and 10 percent said they would decrease staff. Current results are also well ahead of those reported a year ago, when 27 percent planned to lure and none expected to cut back staff." The local outlook for the coming quarter is much brighter than the national outlook, where 27 percent of over 12,000 companies polled said they would hire additional employees and only six percent plan to cut. The local picture also compares favorable with other cities in the midwest, where 28 percent of the com­ panies interviewed intend to add employees, and six percent expect r Local! t reductions. I/, substancial job op­ portunities are predicted by non­ durable goods manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers and services firms. Smaller gains are planned by durable goods manufacturers, construction firms and employers in the finance-insurance-real estate and transportation-public utilities industries. On a geographic basis, all regions of the United States show similar hiring plans with a slightly more favorable outlook in the midwest, where hiring has advanced at a slower pace in recent quarters.
