Stein's to Set Up Shop in Kohl's Parking Lot
A temporary 'Just Plants' will occupy space in space near Janesville Road if Common Council approves
The Plan Commission approved a temporary amendment to Kohl's business site plan to allow a temporary outdoor garden center in its far south lot near Janesville Road.
Stein's Garden Centers will be erecting a "Just Plants" greenhouse and display area, taking up nearly 2,000 square feet of space from April 25 to July 8. The main greenhouse will be 24'x40' with accompanying display space, which will be fenced in. The first seasonal flower mart was launched last year at 76th and Good Hope Road, adjacent to a Pick 'n Save. Additional locations are being proposed in Cedarburg, Cudahy, Waukesha, Oak Creek and Pewaukee.
The temporary market will operate 8am-8pm Monday-Saturday and 9am-6pm on Sundays. Steins said they expect to hire a total of 12-15 employees to operate the site, which will feature annuals, perennials and other planting products and accessories.
