What used to be a simple plot of land located in the outskirts of Fredonia along KS-47 in 1997 is now a bustling center of commerce, comprising 50 acres of land devoted to a Conoco gasoline station, a convenience store, a restaurant and a hotel.

          It took a visionary in the person of Andrea Bacani, the enterprising wife of noted doctor of medicine, Dr. Oswaldo Bacani, both of Filipino origin, to transform this once idle and sleepy piece of property into a busy and thriving commercial center that has become a landmark in the small city of Fredonia.  Woman's intuition, industry and a strong will to make things happen combined to encourage Mrs. Bacani to acquire this fifty acre lot at the edge of Fredonia along KS-47 and throw her lot on what to her was a promising piece of real estate.  Providence was on her side as not too long after she purchased the property, news came out about the US-400 corridor that would be built along the other side of the property, making the corner of her property a major junction that would capture the flow of vehicles from four directions.  In 1998, her property was rezoned and re-classified as a commercial lot and was annexed to the City of Fredonia.  This signaled the start of a flurry of activities that would eventually result in the establishment of a business center that is now BACANI PLAZA, a realization of Mrs. Bacani's dream.

          In 2001, Mrs. Andrea Bacani's company was the recipient of the Kansas Minority-owned Reatailer Award.  Her gasoline station was also named the Top One Per Cent Convenience Store League of CONOCO for its outstanding and excellent performance.
