Hobby Lobby Moves Forward in Waukesha

The proposed Hobby Lobby store in the Shoppes at Fox River on Sunset Drive in Waukesha took a step forward Wednesday night, according to the Business Journal.

Plans for the expansion at the commercial shopping center were approved by the Waukesha Plan Commission. Construction is expected to begin in July or August, reported the Business Journal.

Opus Design-Build and Ramco Gershenson are planning a new 53,520-square-foot building at 1200 W. Sunset Drive in one of the newer retail developments in Waukesha. 

The development along West Sunset Drive started in 2008 when a tax incremental financing district was established at the former Fleming site. Pick ‘N Save, Target, Maurices, Buffalo Wild Wings and Noodles & Co. were among original tenants at the property. 

Ulta, Rue 21, Charming Charlie’s and T.J. Maxx joined the property last year. Also located at the development is Orange Leaf.
