Batteries Plus moves into the Framing Place in West St. Paul.

What’s Happening With Batteries Plus and The Framing Place?

Thanks to Southview Garden Center for their support.

With the new Town Center One project moving forward, Batteries Plus is moving. They’re going north on Robert to the old Framing Place south of Moreland Avenue and next to Ali Baba’s (1268 S. Robert). There’s no word on when the new location will open, but it sounds like they need to be out of the old location (1565 S. Robert) by February 16.

The Framing Place and Gallery, a locally owned shop that’s been around since 1973, is moving south to Inver Grove Heights. They’ll be right across the street from West St. Paul in the strip mall with Aldi and the YMCA (1348 Mendota Rd. E). No word on when the new location will open.

Pace Automotive: Local, family owned auto repair. Personal, honest service.
The moving sign at Batteries Plus (Yes, Granny Donuts has also closed.)

We rely on your support to do these local stories.

  1. Always used the Framing Place for poster and print framing and am sorry to see them go, but the driveway and parking was a hassle and I hope Batteries will try to reconfigure it.
