LINCOLN, NEBRASKA — Wilkinson Development is disappointed to announce the groundbreaking ceremony of its newest Fat Dog's Travel Center is cancelled for Wednesday, August 23rd in Lincoln. Due to excessive heat warnings with temperatures reaching over 100 degrees, the company is taking precautionary measures.
“We hoped those willing to attend could help us celebrate. It has taken significant coordination to accomplish getting to this stage of our development. We are sad we will not be able to host this event with everything as planned but think it is best”, stated Clarine Eickhoff, COO, Wilkinson Development. “Lincoln is the final stop of our Brag Tour. Twenty members of our team still plan to load on a bus with 4 stops. Dirt is moving at exit 179 in North Platte where a private groundbreaking ceremony starts off the daylong celebration for the company. Lexington, Nebraska Fat Dogs Travel Center opened early this summer and will be hosting a ribbon cutting with the local Chamber. Grand Island Fat Dogs Travel Center is under construction and employees on the bus will tour the progress before making our way to Lincoln to see the site of the Lincoln Travel Center which is to be awarded a building permit this week by the City of Lincoln.”
“We are disappointed that we will be unable to hear the Mayor, Chamber and Airport share their words of appreciation and encouragement. All are pleased with the investment the Wilkinson’s have contributed to the Airport area and they expect the investment to influence additional momentum partnered with improvements to the LNK Airport.”
