When is the new At Home store opening in Rochester, Minnesota?

Huge thanks to Jay Wiech, Store Director, for taking a few moments to send those photos for a sneak peek!  As you can tell from the photos, the team has been working hard at getting everything ready for opening day!

Last week, I shared the news that the official Grand Opening was on March 5th.  But, the soft opening is happening now and the doors are open as of February 16th.

If you go shopping at the new store, remember to just be patient as the staff is still training.  (And if you go, PLEASE let me know what you thought of the new place!  Send me a note over on my Facebook page - Jessica On The Radio.)
