LAKEPORT, Calif. – The new Marshalls store in Lakeport opened its doors to the public Thursday and welcomed a steady stream of customers throughout the day.

The store is located in one of three retail stores in the former Kmart retail building at 2017 S. Main St.

Tractor Supply is the other tenant of the premises, with a third space still available.

A month ago, Marshalls announced the grand opening of the store, which has been in the works since 2022.

The store offers a variety of items including clothing, shoes, home decor and furniture, and kitchen supplies.

The City of Lakeport announced the store opening on its Facebook page and shared pictures of customers lined up at the opening.

On Facebook, customers reported that the store was so crowded that they waited up to two hours in line at the checkout.

By Thursday evening, the queues were still full and the store was busy, but the lines were getting shorter.

Opening hours are Monday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
