There’s been a surge in retail stores and restaurants opening or relocating in Black River Falls, especially downtown. “I’m not 100 percent sure what the reason is,” said Amanda Gunn, executive director of the Black River Area Chamber of Commerce. “But I think they found a lot of different opportunities for things that we didn’t quite have yet in the area.”

Dave Hatch and Janinne Casey opened Karma New & Used in April in the former Memory Lane Antiques location at 224 Main St. in downtown Black River Falls. Hatch, who is a Holmen native, said he and Casey opened Karma there in April after moving to Black River Falls from Rochester, Minn., where they had operated Karma Consignments for 11 years. At the new Black River Falls location, they buy and sell antiques and collectibles, as well as gold and silver. “I have over 4,600 one-eighteenth scale diecast cars,” Hatch said of one type of collectible that the store has plenty of. It also sells some new merchandise such as jewelry, and has both new and used beds and other furniture. “With Black River Falls and Hixton, this is a really strong area for antiques and collectibles,” Hatch said of the reason for buying the building and moving to Black River Falls. “That certainly was a factor.” For now, everything is on the building’s first floor. But Hatch said he and Casey plan to expand the store into the basement in about a month. “That will double our space,” he said.
Update: The basement is open - four rooms full!
Karma’s hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Sunday through Saturday.
