A groundbreaking ceremony was held for the store building on August 19, 1975.<ref>Histed, Bill. [https://www.newspapers.com/clip/66981803/telegraph-forum/ "Ground Breaking Held For New K-Mart Store"], [[Bucyrus Telegraph-Forum]], August 19, 1975, front page.</ref> The store was developed by H-R-K Bucyrus Limited, a partnership owned in part by then-Ohio governor {{w|Jim Rhodes}}, although Rhodes' part of the business was held in trust while he was governor. During construction in 1976, it was discovered that the developers had received a $1.01 million loan from the [[Standard Savings and Loan Company of Columbus]], violating a state law which prohibited savings and loans from loaning more than 10 percent of their withdrawable assets to a single borrower. The loan was made one day after the state government approved Standard's application to open a new branch in [[Newark, Ohio|Newark]]. The allegations of illegal activity did not affect the store's opening a few months later.<ref>[https://www.newspapers.com/clip/66981187/telegraph-forum/ "Rhodes Firm, In Trouble In Ind., Also Involved In K Mart Building Here"], [[Bucyrus Telegraph-Forum]], April 27, 1976, front page.</ref><ref>[https://www.newspapers.com/clip/66981346/telegraph-forum/ "K-Mart Development Loan Is Called Illegal"], [[Bucyrus Telegraph-Forum]], April 28, 1976, front page.</ref> |
