2004
was a record year for breaking economic development in Clovis.
In addition to the cheese plant, Clovis has seen significant growth
in retail businesses and restaurants. North Clovis has been dominated
for the previous decade mostly by new housing and a Super WalMart store.
The
area now has several new businesses including Lowe's Home Improvement,
a Dollar Tree store, a new Town and Country gas station, Payless Shoes,
Quizno's
Subs, Rib Crib, Chili's Bar and Grill, Applebee's Restaurant, Snyder's
Cleaners, a car dealership and a strip mall with several specialty
shops.
The growth has not been limited to the north part of town.
Midtown has seen the refurbishing of a Furr's grocery store into
the Master's Center, which houses a Christian book store, the
Java Loft, All
About Sports, National Travel Systems, and Trinity Family Medicine.
Across the street, Hobby Lobby, Sprint, Dollar Tree, Hastings
Bookstore, I-Hop and
other specialty shops now fill a shopping center on 21st and
Prince.
Several existing businesses have added a second location in mid-town
including the Bank of Clovis, Leal's Mexican Food Restaurant,
and Guad-to-Go.
The Plains Regional Medical Center - Clovis, a division of Presbyterian
Health Care of Albuquerque, NM, is a state of the art medical facility
serving the region. Over the last two years, the facility has spent
several million
dollars renovating and constructing a new physicians building,
physical therapy center, emergency room facilities and a cancer treatment
facility.
Several new storage facilities opened and The Restaurant at Fox
Run, in the northwest part of Clovis, offers local residents
fine dining. The
City of Clovis is building a Civic Center to house local events
that will be located near Clovis Community College.
Business is booming in Clovis. One of the keys to this growth
is the 2003 designation of the Clovis-Portales area as a Microplex
by the
U.S. Census
Bureau. The cities are now listed together with a customer base
of 50,000. The area is also considered a shopping hub for a 60-mile
radius with a population
of approximately 120,000.
Clovis is growing! Community leaders are excited about the growth
and making every effort to ensure it continues. We invite you…
come grow with
us!
