New Home of Economy in Minot

This is an interesting story because of the "data point" in the second paragraph below.

The original Home of Economy opened in 1965, and after 47 years has finally given way to a new facility that's 58,000 square feet, roughly three times the size of the old one. Rod Walker, store manager, said they have newly expanded operating hours to go along with the new store.

With the massive growth in Minot, Walker said the old store simply couldn't meet the demands being placed upon it any more. That made the decision to start fresh a pretty easy one for the owners.

One of the big additions to the new store is the Amish Gallery, which features Amish furniture such as dining room sets, bedroom sets, living room sets, desks and rockers. Walker said the Amish Gallery is around 10,000 square feet, so it takes up a sizable part of the store.
