Three Branson businesses develop commercial subdivision

Principals of Meek's Building Supply, L & J Plumbing and Loyd's Electric are developing High Road Plaza, a commercial subdivision near the Ozark Mountain High Road and Highway 65 interchange.

Terry Meek, president and CEO of Meek’s, Jeff Justus, president of L & J, and Phillip Loyd, president of Loyd’s, formed High Road Plaza LLC June 25, 2004, and began construction to relocate their businesses.

Loyd’s opened June 6 at 838 Stonetree Drive, and Meek’s opened June 15 at 155 Stonetree Drive. L & J opened July 5 at 745 Stonetree Drive.

Twelve lots, at an average size of 1.5 acres each, remain, and Meek said the trio will begin marketing the lots for sale within 30 to 60 days. A Realtor has not yet been selected to market the lots, and prices have not been determined.

“We’re hoping to attract other suppliers in the construction industry – people like carpet companies … and maybe a furniture company,” Meek said.

The businesses were three of 16 purchased by the city of Branson for Branson Landing. Loyd’s received $3,091,888 for its property at 117 E. College, Meek’s received $2,498,005 for property at 412 S. Sycamore, and L & J received $1,725,277 for 208 S. Sycamore.
