Lakes Community Cooperative would like to announce that the Lake Park Hardware Store will undergo a significant transformation to become a premier retail meat market featuring products from the Perham Meat Market. This change is set to take place following the closure of the hardware store on October 31st, 2026.

Transition and Renovation Plans:
Closure of Lake Park Hardware: The hardware store will close its doors on October 31st, 2026.
Relocation of Bait and Tackle: These items will be moved to the Lake Park C-Store, ensuring continued access for our valued customers.
Automotive Section: A new automotive section will be established in the current bait and tackle area, enhancing our offerings at the Lake Park Shop.
Renovation: The interior of the hardware store will undergo renovations to incorporate new coolers and freezers, setting the stage for our meat market.
Opening Timeline: The new retail meat market is projected to open its doors to the public around February or March of 2027.
