New Store Being Built off Saint Charles Way in Prineville
Wilco announced yesterday their plans to expand their offerings in Prineville by relocating their current store to a property nearby where a new store will be built from the ground up. The new store will not only be more than five times the size of the current location, it will add ten-20 new jobs and will also provide the necessary space to add a Garden Center, workwear and footwear department, True Value hardware and pet grooming services. Slated to open mid-year 2023, customers can still shop at the current location until the new store is completed.
“We’re excited to grow our Prineville location to provide additional items and services to a community that has been supporting us for many years. I grew up and graduated from high school in Prineville and I know firsthand that it’s a great community to be a part of,” said TJ Colson, Wilco’s president of Retail Stores. “Relocating to this new location allows Wilco to expand and enhance what is currently our smallest store, provide additional convenience for the growing community of Prineville, while combining all of the same offerings that our farm stores are famous for,” Colson added.
The new Prineville Wilco Store, located at 154 NE Saint Charles Way, will include all five signature departments that Wilco is known for:
- Pet supplies and dog grooming
- Lawn and garden with a nursey for plants
- True Value Hardware and Benjamin Moore Paint
- Farm, fencing and feed featuring Purina
- Work, Western wear and boots
The new location is part of the new Ochoco Mill project, owned by Ochoco Lumber Company. Broker Mark Banta, with Commercial Realty Advisors NW, represented Wilco on the lease transaction.
