SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) — A developer says a giant Solo cup structure built into the company’s former plant in Springfield will be torn down by the end of next week.
Patrick Harrington of Warren Davis Properties tells the Springfield News-Leader  the larger-than-life white cup that also served as an entrance no longer fits with the building anymore since the Solo Cup company left the city in 2011.
The building is currently being used for warehouse space by an Ohio-based company and two Springfield businesses.
Solo Cup bought the plant in February 2004 but then sold it in December 2010 to Davis Properties, which it leased it until 2011.
