2006-01-01 Gresham Station Welcomes Best Buy

Gresham Station Shopping Center, a 300,000 square foot lifestyle center in Gresham, Oregon is proud to announce the addition of national retail chain Best Buy to its list of shopping choices.
"Gresham Station continues to successfully attract leading national retailers that reflect the up-to-the-minute tastes and lifestyles of this region's residents. Best Buy is a welcome addition to our 47 other brand name and specialty retailers.", said Patricia Sillix, VP & General Manager of Westlake Realty Group which manages the shopping center. Best Buy sells a wide range of consumer electronics, major appliances, and entertainment and computer software.

The Minnesota-based retailer, which has 714 stores nationwide, entered the Portland market in 2000. "Best Buy's very first stores were opened in the Portland area," Sillix points out. "We know that they are a smash hit among this area's residents. That has been key to us in selecting tenants for Gresham Station. Our objective is to create a center that is as irresistible to local shoppers, diners and entertainment seekers as it is to Portland area visitors."

Gresham Station Shopping Center is located at 1042 NW Norman Avenue, at the corner of Eastman Parkway and NW Division St. Gresham Station's retailers include Bed, Bath & Beyond, Cost Plus World Market, Borders, PacSun, Ann Taylor Loft, Old Navy, Gap and many more (note to media: tenant list attached).
