Walmart eyeing former Pov's site in Andover

The city of Andover received an official application Tuesday afternoon (March 20) from the McCombs Frank Roos Associates, Inc. consulting firm on behalf of Walmart to build an approximately 150,000 square-foot store on the site of the former Pov’s Sports Bar and Grill, according to Community Development Director David Carlberg.

The site is located on the northwest corner of Bunker Lake Boulevard and Jay Street in the Andover Station North development area, just across the street from Target, Festival Foods and many other stores.

Carlberg said the public will get a chance to comment on Walmart’s proposal. The Planning and Zoning Commission will hold a public hearing on the plat proposal and any possible variances needed, possibly in May.

According to Carlberg, the site is just under 20 acres. A grocery area is included in the plans, but not a garden center. Other details about the plan, such as the number of parking spaces and whether any variances are needed, are still being reviewed.
