The metal building is erected and interior work will start soon for Harter House Markets LLC’s grocery store, according to officials with general contractor Missouri Supermarket Builders. It will be the sixth store for the grocery chain and the fourth owned by Butch Bettlach and his family. Their others are in Hollister, Kimberling City and Strafford. The Nixa store is similar to the Hollister location, with a design focused on meat department service. The project is on pace for a late June completion date following weather delays.
