A new Orscheln Farm and Home store is coming to Junction City near the intersection of East Chestnut And South Washington Streets.

There has been an Orscheln store at 1023 South Washington for many years, but the store manager, Josh Wolnik, confirmed the company will build a bigger outlet at the new location. Dirt work and site preparation has been under way at the East Chestnut – South Washington Street location.

Wolnik stated that the new store will be larger in size. “It’s going to have some more departments, spread out our clothing area, actually put a new sporting goods department in so it’s going to be different than customers have been seeing lately. ” The exact size of the new store is not yet known but Wolnik noted it will be more than 35,000 square feet in size. The current store covers 29,000 square feet.

He indicated they’re aiming for an opening of the new outlet in the October time frame.
