The fire caused about $1.2 million in damage, owner Terry Van Lare told a local television station. The property is large enough (58 acres total), however, that the garden retailer was able to re-open June 27.
Oconomowoc Landscape Supply & Garden Center runs a garden store, a growing range, and a landscape division. It isn’t known which division was most affected by the fire, which was not caught until a passing police patrol saw the buildings already burning.
Someone posted a message for customers on the company’s Facebook page:
