Contractors are working to finish out a shell space at Preston Forest Shopping Center.

The construction is ongoing at suite 737, previously occupied by Whole Earth Provision Co, which moved into the shopping center in 2010. The space is located just a few storefronts from Whole Foods Market.

A permit posted on the property, which is being used as a general merchandise or food store greater than 3,500 square feet, marks the interior and exterior shell renovation. According to a building project application, the space takes up 11,492 square feet.
