October 12, 2022 – West Bend, Wi – A couple of franchise clothing stores are closer to opening. Dunham’s Sports, 1291 W. Paradise Dr., in West Bend, WI is opening in the former Elder-Beerman/Boston Store.
It was April 26, 2022 when WashingtonCountyInsider.com reported Dunham’s Sports had its eye on the former Boston Store/Elder-Beerman location in the West Bend Corporate Center.
