Proposed Majority Tennant — St. Croix Cleaners
A building would be built next to the strip mall in the Oak Park Ponds. St. Croix
Cleaners would occupy approximately 6000 sq ft and would contain two 1200 sq ft
retail /office spaces for lease.
St. Croix Cleaners' dry cleaning plant would be moved from its current location next to
the bowling alley on Omaha Avenue in Oak Park Heights. St. Croix Cleaners Dry
Cleaning business has outgrown its space and would like to expand it's plant operations
offering more jobs in Oak Park Heights. St. Croix Cleaners currently has retail locations
Stillwater, Woodbury, and Cottage Grove. A second Woodbury location will be added in
January. Other retail locations would be secured since additional capacity would be
available.
The location of Oak Park Heights only Laundromat used to be part of a thriving retail
complex. The area has evolved into a office /light industrial type of neighborhood. The
Laundromat is difficult to find and out of the way for most shopping activities. The new
location would be in a prime retail area. The Laundromat would contain new high
efficiency laundering equipment and would be open extended hours. Plenty of parking
would be available for customers and employees.
