I think it will be good for the community and area as a whole. It is a store that will have a regional draw. Though not particularly familiar to many in the area it is generally well known in the upper midwest. I think it will put pressure on some other retailers to step up their game a bit, but won't hurt some of the more niche retailers.

I heard they are like a Fleet Farm type store with a mix of hardware, automotive, farm supplies, etc.. It'll be nice to have a larger store like this on the west side.

It'll be nice to see the old Walmart occupied.
I hope it doesn't take out the Fleet Farm on East Main..for a do-it-yourselfer that store has saved me on more occasions then I can count.
These guys (Bomgaars) list 79 store locations, but a quick count shows they have more..a Welcome addition to the Skyline..

I saw the sign went up by the road last week. The tribune article from February said it was expected to open in June. Since their sign went up i believe their on track to open next month. Will be interesting to see what they did to the inside and what they have exactly. Did drive through that part of the parking lot and am hoping that they fix the few holes before they get worse.

Assuming they are getting close. All the fixtures are in the store, and I've seen product trailers in the loading dock.

Saw an article in the paper last week that said they open at eight Monday. Drove by their this morning and their is a sign on the building that says stihl so we're going to have another dealer in the area. That would make three in town plus one in gordonsville at the trading post.

So, any bets out there for how long until they close the doors? Have never been by a brand new store so much and never see any cars there-unless they all parked in front of the Moose and walk?
