While not a new build, it is possibly the first new location since Bi-Mart exited the Pharmacy business.

I think you’re right… Bi-Mart’s only recent expansion is into Idaho. Twin Falls seems like another spot Bi-Mart would do well in, unless they dropped into Northern Nevada (places like Dayton, Yerington, Fernley, Fallon, even the northern outskirts of Reno)

They must be doing well in Caldwell (also a former Paul's Market - maybe former Safeway like this) and in Kuna (new scratch build). Good on 'em.
I still miss my Bi-Mart pharmacy though.

This same center also used to have a KING'S Variety but they shut down as Walmart moved into offering 2 day shipping (like Amazon) nationwide and the two big "dollar stores" entered their trade areas. :(

Bi-Mart distribution is in Eugene. They could get to Yerington in 8.5 hours.

They seem to not be interested in moving into CA even if some spots that border OR would make a lot of sense.
