The Maytag appliance store at 118 Junction Road will close Monday.
The Agrace HospiceCare Thrift Store, next door at 122 Junction Road, will move into the Maytag space in March.
Economic conditions and upcoming road construction at Junction and Mineral Point roads led to the decision to close the Madison store, said Tom Schneider, president Silica Appliance, parent company of the Madison store. Silica has stores in Fond du Lac and Beaver Dam and is considering opening a store in Watertown, he said.
The current thrift store has 4,000 square feet, while the Maytag space has 6,600 square feet, said Judy Purcell, retail business manager for Agrace. She anticipates the thrift store will be closed for five to seven days in March to complete the move. Moving to the larger space will enable the store to begin handling men's apparel, she said. Agrace also has a thrift store at 1733 Thierer Road.
