New store coming to city

Opening expected in spring or early summer

A new store is coming to Green River this year.

Bomgaars, a retailer headquartered in Sioux City, Iowa, will be opening a branch in Green River. The store will open at the old Shopko building on Bridger Avenue.

“We’re looking forward to coming into the community,” Aaron Bomgaars, vice president of property management and store development said.

Bomgaars said work is underway at the building and the company is aiming for a spring or early summer opening. He said the Green River location represents a great opportunity for the company, giving it access to both Green River and the nearby Rock Springs markets.

“This is a great market,” he said.

Bomgaars describes the store as rooted in farm and ranch retail, but has grown closer to a general merchandise retailer. The stores have many departments, including lawn care, automotive, clothing and power equipment.

Bomgaars has opened 10 locations in Wyoming, including Rawlins, Pinedale, Gillette, Diamondville and Cody.

Overall, the chain operates 92 stores in a seven-state region, employing 2,400 people.
