Plans are moving ahead for Coastal Farm and Ranch to relocate to the former K-Mart building on Avalon Street in Klamath Falls, bringing with it the possibility of 10 new associated jobs, according to Rick Abel, business development and retention manager for Klamath County Economic Development Association (KCEDA).
Abel confirmed remodeling of the store is underway, although there will likely be no structural changes made to the building. Abel said a new lease agreement is in place between Coastal and the owner of the former K-Mart building.
“The move is definitely happening,” Abel said on Wednesday, pending an ongoing permitting process. Coastal will be moving from its current approximately 38,000-square-foot location at 6225 S. Sixth St. to the 84,210-square-foot Avalon Street location this fall.
“They’re hoping to be in there by late November.”
Byron Ball, district manager for Coastal, could not be reached for comment as of press time.
Albany-based Coastal Farm and Ranch has 15 stores located in Oregon and Washington.
