Signs Are Up! Here’s What’s Going in Rochester’s Old Shopko North Store

Remember the old Shopko North store in Rochester, Minnesota?  Many of us, including my family, loved shopping there back in the day but we also had friends and loved ones working at the Shopko stores up until the final days before they closed forever.  Both stores sat empty for a bit but it looks like we've got one more update happening with those buildings because something new has shown up on the right side of the old Shopko North building.

Here's the latest on what's going in the old Shopko stores in Rochester

ICYMI, the South Shopko store is currently being remodeled for a new store.  The ironic thing is, the new store is a lot like a Shopko!

The North store has been through a dramatic change and is almost unrecognizable today.

• On the left side, where part of the Garden Center and Health and Beauty used to be, is the brand new Purple Goat.

• In the middle is the gorgeous showroom of Haley Comfort Systems, complete with fireplaces on the outside of the building.

• The right side, which used to be Women's Apparel and is closest to the newly re-opened CMX Chateau Theater, was sitting empty for a bit but it is looking like someone new is there now.  Here's what I know so far...
