When I came to Owatonna in 1997, we did not have much shopping areas. Except walmart and Target. After thirteen years Owatonna has got two other shopping stores. We have Kohl's and Famous Footwear. I mean its not a major change, but at least we have more options. Especially with Kohl's. I work at Kohl's and it definitely has a wide variety of clothes, shoes, and accessories. We also have two strip malls near Walmart. One of the strip malls contains Radio Shack, Game Stop, MGM, 24 Fitness and across from this strip mall is the second strip mall that contains Famous Footwear, Dollar Tree, Office Max. These strip malls makes Owatonna look a little more urban and beautiful. Wow in 1997 Owatonna was empty, and now I see how Owatonna has expanded. Wow its AMAZING!!
