SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO.com) -- Unlike many of its other stores, Mills Fleet Farm upcoming store at the Sanford Sports Complex is part of a bigger complex.
"You have a convenience gas location separated as part of the square footage as well," said Fleet Farm's vice president of real estate and construction Tom Karrico. "It's a brand new look and feel for Fleet Farm.
Not being a stand-alone facility but part of the larger Sanford Sports Complex in northwest Sioux Falls is also unique.
"We like the site," Karrico said. "We like the freeway's visibility that we have. We also like the activities that's happening, kind of, in that northwest part of the city."
Karrico says working with the community to break ground on their 185-thousand square foot new store has been great.
"We've got a great development partner in Lloyd Companies and Sanford Health," Karrico said. "And I got to tell you, the City of Sioux Falls has been just tremendous to deal with."
Fleet Farm and Sanford broke ground on their new site this week at the Sanford Sports Complex. When completed next year, it will be Fleet Farm's first South Dakota store.
