In addition to a new grocery store, the City of Flemington soon may be the new home to World of Beer, which posted on its website an opening planned for 2023.

Flemington City Council members approved at their Aug. 9 meeting a variance request from Genesis Engineering for a proposed grocery and retail space at East Oglethorpe Highway and Flemington Village Boulevard.

The property consists of 10.6 acres with 588 feet of frontage on Oglethorpe Highway. The planned grocery store will be 47,250 square feet. The plan includes a 2,660-square-foot space for a possible restaurant, and 8,400 square feet for retail shops.

The grocery store and the outparcel are planned to have two entrances off Flemington Village Boulevard and a right-turn-only access and exit from Highway 84.
