November 16, 2019 – West Bend, WI – Fleet Farm in West Bend has posted an ad about opening Monday, November 18. However, according to more details in a press release it’s “friends and family in advance of the official store Grand Opening.”
Get a Sneak Peek of Relocated, Tripled-in-Size West Bend Fleet Farm and Interview Fleet Farm Executive Nick Widi
Background:
Fleet Farm has been part of the West Bend community for nearly 60 years, but the former store location wasn’t big enough for our loyal local customers. So Fleet Farm chose to triple the size of the original West Bend store and open a new location just two miles from the former store. This move meant hiring 150 new team members and bringing a greatly expanded breadth and depth of products and services to the store. It means 4x more pet selection, 3x more sporting goods, and a new Auto Service Center, Power Center Shop and Grill Shop. Fleet Farm is excited to bring West Bend customers the store they’ve been waiting for.
What:
On Monday, Nov. 18, Fleet Farm invites local media to an exclusive sneak peek the new West Bend Fleet Farm. Come see the new store with our Fleet Farm friends and family in advance of the official store Grand Opening.
