Prime Commercial Opportunity on the Rum River – St. Francis Hardware & Rum River Inn Property
Discover the unique potential of this iconic property located in the heart of St. Francis, boasting 289 feet of Rum River frontage and high visibility on a well-traveled corridor. This offering includes the long-standing St. Francis Hardware Store, the adjoining Rum River Inn property, a 40×60 pole building with electricity and a bathroom, plus an additional covered storage.
The hardware store is still in operation and currently working toward final inventory closeout. Whether you choose to continue the legacy as a hardware and building supply center or pursue a new retail or commercial venture, the possibilities are endless. Consider concepts such as a garden center, boutique market, or a multi-tenant retail setup.
A flexible layout, high-traffic location, and direct river frontage make this property ideal for redevelopment or expansion. The survey will be completed and recorded at the time of final sale. The site may be sold as two separate parcels or combined as one.
Please note: Due to the Rum River’s Wild and Scenic designation, development plans will require DNR involvement. Refer to supplements for zoning details, including the transition from R-1 to B-1 districts. Buyers should be aware that the hardware store’s rear storage area is currently classified as nonconforming.
Don’t miss this rare opportunity to shape the future of a historic and well-positioned property in downtown St. Francis.
