Peoria Business Moves to Mississippi

She-Pop owner Shelia Marshall is moving her Peoria business to Mississippi after OSF HealthCare purchased MidTown Plaza. Unable to find a suitable local space, she plans to reopen near the University of Mississippi.

In the wake of MidTown Shopping Plaza’s sale to OSF Healthcare, Shelia Marshall, owner of She-Pop, is planning to relocate the gourmet popcorn business to Mississippi where she’ll be closer to family.

A Peoria business owner is moving her shop more than 500 miles away to Mississippi after a healthcare system's real estate purchase displaced her storefront. The relocation affects a local merchant who operated in the United States shopping center for over four years with a lease running through June 2028. The move underscores the friction small retailers face when major healthcare providers expand their footprint into commercial retail space.
