A Skechers shoe store is taking a spot at the Village Plaza shopping center on Highway 98 North.

Permit records show Skechers building out a storefront at 4286 Highway 98 North, part of the Village Plaza shopping center owned by PMAT Village Plaza LLC. The work was a commercial remodel valued at about $610,000, handled by Lakeview Construction of Wisconsin, with separate electrical, plumbing, fire-sprinkler, sound-system and sign permits following behind.

The main remodel permit and the fire-sprinkler and sound-system work have all been finaled, and wall-sign and pylon-sign permits have been issued. Together the records point to a completed store buildout. The records don't give an opening date.

What happens next

With the buildout finaled and signs permitted, the Skechers store appears ready to open, though no opening date is in the records.
