Previously the home of Shopko, the remaining building will be remodeled from the ground up to utilize the 1.5 acres of adjacent property that was also purchased. The new store will contain an additional 20,000 square feet of space and more than double the parking! Additionally, Blain&#8217;s Farm &amp; Fleet is going to add a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.farmandfleet.com\/blog\/blains-farm-fleet-drive-thru-service\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Best-In-Class Drive-Thru<\/a> and an updated state-of-the-art automotive service center. The 75,853 square foot lot will allow customers to enjoy a larger selection of products and more floor space while shopping.<\/p>\n<p>Blain&#8217;s President and CEO, Jane Blain Gilbertson, states, &#8220;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&#8217;s Farm &amp; Fleet for 56 years. Monroe has been so loyal to us, and we look forward to repurposing the building.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The current location at 251 8th Street, Monroe, WI 53566 will remain open during the construction of the new store. Blain&#8217;s Farm &amp; Fleet is looking for interested parties to redevelop the current store site after the relocation this fall. &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.farmandfleet.com\/about-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Our culture<\/a> 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 location for the City of Monroe. That is what good neighbors do,&#8221; said Sara Iverson Smith, Director of Real Estate, Construction and Facilities.
