HOE logoJamestown, ND (KCSi-T.V. News Jun 20, 2013) — Officials with Home of Economy have announced that the store is moving to the former K-Mart location at the Buffalo Mall.

Renovations will take place in the 85,00 square feet of space starting July 1, 2013.

Home of Economy will occupy bout two-thirds of the  space in the mall  location.

The store will be Home of Ecomony’s largest store to date.

President of Home of Economy, President and CEO, Wade Pearson states that it’s a great location for them.

The Jamestown Home of Economy store at 830 18th Street, Southwest will remain open while the Buffalo Mall location is set up.

Pearson said the Buffalo Mall space will allow Home of Economy to expand the Jamestown store’s clothing and work boot offerings, and expand its sporting goods department.

The Home of Economy family of stores began in 1939 when M.W. ‘Bob’ and Jean Kiesau opened a small tire store in Thief River Falls, Minnesota. Acquired in April 2006, the Jamestown Home of Economy was formerly a ‘Big R’ store. Big R was a fellow member of the Mid-States Distributing Company, a powerful group of independent retailers founded by Bob Kiesau in 1953.

The expansion in Jamestown is one of several major growth projects undertaken by Home of Economy in the last 15 months. The most notable project being the October opening of a brand new store in Minot.

Pearson says, “Home of Economy strives to always be an innovative organization. But it is our loyal customers who’ve truly been the driving force behind our success. This growth in Jamestown is a continuation of Home of Economy’s rich legacy in North Dakota.”

Home of Economy currently has six locations including Minot, Grafton, Devils Lake, Williston and the headquarters store in Grand Forks.
