HomeGoods (Former Wild Oats Marketplace)

517 N Stephanie St Henderson, NV 89014

Lets Head over to a Former Wild Oats Marketplace thats now a HomeGoods that had a grand opening today. The store is located right behind the Borders & Sports Authority. The store itself had what you would find at a Whole foods. The only difference was that Wild Oats wasn't own by Whole Foods till 2009. The store was very busy when it was open till around 2006 when Wild Oats started to discontinue lots of products. During that time Hours of Operations were cut back from 7am-11pm to 7am-7pm. That made an impact on the store and the Company. Many people started heading to Whole foods which is farther away or Trader joes which is 5 miles from here. Thats when WholeFoods bought out Wild Oats on February 2007. Whole foods continue operating the Wild Oats Chain by adding more items under the Wild Foods Brand instead and adding the old hours back. The store was just getting business once again till July 2009 when WholeFoods announced that this store was not going to survive the rebrand of WholeFoods from Wild oats. The Decision was to closed the store for good on August 5, 2009. After sitting empty for 7 years. The store had been remodel and is now a HomeGoods that held a grand opening today.

As we look thru the photos, I will remark some of the locations when it was Wild Oats.

Lets head next door from Borders to Sports Authority before they moved to a Former Sports Chalet I only been to this store 1 time and i don't remember how the store was sent up. But I do remember the old logo and letters which was different on the street sign but on the store it used the regular old Red letters. Lets take a look thru some photos. I do not have photos of the old street sign but you can check it out Here.

This store was one with a different design thats still intact on this day. The store itself was Very Busy unlike the Barnes & Nobel behind toys r us. When Barnes & Nobel announced all stores were going to closed this store closed in 2011 and still sits abandon. In 2015 the center was repainted which now looks more ugly with empty store fronts then before, Just saying. Lets take a long thru the store.
