LAKEPORT, Calif. — The new Lakeport Marshalls store opened its doors to the public on Thursday, welcoming a steady stream of customers throughout the day.

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

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

A month ago, Marshalls announced the grand opening for the store, 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, sharing pictures of customers lined up for when the doors opened.

Customers reported on Facebook that the store was so busy that they had waited in line for checkout for up to two hours.

By Thursday evening, while the parking lot remained full and the store was busy, the lines had grown smaller.

Store hours are Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Sunday, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
