Investing in Our Future: New Jobs and Infrastructure for Continued Growth in Mattoon
The City of Mattoon is proud to partner with Rural King and the State of Illinois on a transformational investment in our community.
Rural King has announced construction of a new $75 million Store Support Campus on approximately 60 acres at the northeast corner of Broadway Avenue East and Swords Drive. The campus will include a flagship store, a three-story corporate headquarters, and a 40,000-square-foot event center that will be available for community use.
This expansion will create 100 new full-time jobs and retain more than 700 existing positions, reinforcing Rural King’s deep roots in Mattoon.
As part of this project, the City through a partnership with the Illinois Department of Transportation and its Economic Development Program will extend Swords Drive north from Broadway Avenue, improving access, safety, and long-term development opportunities in the area.
This project reflects strong collaboration between local, state, and industry partners and represents a significant investment in Mattoon’s future.
We thank Rural King, Coles Together, IDOT, and the State of Illinois for their continued commitment to our community.
