Location
New, Modern Store Design, Drive-Thru and
Updated Service Center to be in New Location
Blain’s Farm and Fleet is proud to announce that they will be
relocating to 405 8th St, Monroe, WI 53566, less than half a mile
away from their current location. The new store location will
include extensive improvement of the previous Shopko building as
well as 1.5 acres of adjacent property with plans to expand and
accommodate new offerings for the community. Blain’s Farm and Fleet
expects construction to be completed by Fall 2020.
The new Blain’s Farm and Fleet store will provide a larger
location at 75,853 total square feet and more than double the
parking spots. With over 20,000 additional square feet, Blain’s
Farm and Fleet will add a best-in-class covered Drive-Thru and an
updated state-of-the-art automotive service center. Customers will
also enjoy wider aisles, expanded products and brands, as well as
energy efficient LED lighting for both the interior and
exterior.
“It is so meaningful to all of us that we will now be able to
make a big investment back into a community that has supported
Blain’s Farm and Fleet for 56 years,” says Jane Blain Gilbertson,
Owner and President. “Monroe has been so loyal to us, and we look
forward to repurposing this building, purchasing additional
adjacent land and creating the best possible experience for our
neighbors.” The closing of other retailers, like Shopko, has taken
a toll on the Monroe economy. Many Monroe shoppers have traveled
outside of the local community to spend their dollars. With this
investment, Blain’s Farm and Fleet is helping to bring shoppers
back to Monroe. “Our hope is to take care of those who have taken
care of us AND draw new business to the area with our expanded
capabilities. We will continue to offer the most popular and
high-quality brands at prices everyone can afford,” says Blain
Gilbertson.
The current store location at 251 8th Street, Monroe, WI 53566
will remain open while construction is underway. Blain’s Farm and
Fleet is looking for interested parties to redevelop the current
store site after the relocation this fall. “It is always our goal
to make sure that we are strengthening each of the communities that
we serve,” says Sara Iverson Smith, Director of Real Estate,
Construction and Facilities. “Our culture is to treat associates
like family and customers like neighbors. Because of that, we will
focus on providing high-quality enhancements, additional space and
parking to the new location, as well as to find a good fit to fill
our old location for the City of Monroe. That is what good
neighbors do.” Interested parties are welcome to contact Mrs.
Iverson Smith at siversonsmith@blainsupply.com.
