October marks the opening of two large businesses in Citrus Heights, with Stein Mart opening its doors for the first time today in the Marketplace at Birdcage, and HD Supply scheduled to open the 15th on Greenback Lane near Sunrise Boulevard.
Stein Mart’s new location across from Sunrise Mall takes up the 34,000 square feet building once home to Linen ‘N Things, and is one of three new Stein Mart stores scheduled to open this fall in California, according to a news release.
As part of its 2014 expansion, the nationwide discount retailer says it identified the Citrus Heights location as a “key growth market” to bring its selection of clothing, home decor and other accessories.
HD Supply’s Citrus Heights location will be the fourth store to open in northern California and will compete with Lowe’s and Home Depot in providing home improvement and construction supplies to area consumers and contractors.
The location at 7999 Greenback Lane was originally home to Circuit City, but most recently occupied by Wise Buys, which closed its doors in 2012.
