PlayNation is a national franchise selling wooden play gyms and swingsets. The local dealer is Action Play Yards. Announcements on both the PlayNation website and the Action Play Yards website say that the business is relocating and expanding to a "huge indoor/outdoor showroom" on this lot.
They will be building a 2200 square foot showroom. They'll also create a left-turn lane on NC-54. The road is already wide enough because of Park Ridge's turn lane.
