Legaspi Company eyeing western Salt Lake. Gigante USA grocery superstore may anchor the Redwood Road site.

The Deseret News is reporting that the Legaspi Company is asking the Salt Lake City Council for a $2.25 million loan to help spur their efforts in building a shopping center on the city's west side. The shopping center would be located at Redwood Road and North Temple and the Legaspi Company is hoping to lure Gigante USA grocery superstore to the area.

The money, if given to the group, will come from the city's revolving business funds, which is replenished as past businesses repay their loans back. Gigante USA currently has stores in California, but has been looking to tap into the Salt Lake market for quite some time.

Gigante USA is an offshoot of Gigante Mexico, one of the largest supermarkets in Mexico.
