Greentree Centre (Caledonia, Wisconsin)

Greentree Centre is a shopping center at the northeast corner of Douglas Avenue and 4 Mile Road in Caledonia, Wisconsin. Built between 1989 and 1991, the center's main anchor was Kmart from 1991 to 2019.

History
After opening its first Racine store on the southwest side of the city in 1976, Kmart Corporation confirmed in April 1979 that it was considering opening a second location in the city. In November of that year, Kmart stated that it was working with Vestcor, a development firm based in Austin, Texas on the potential new store. Vestcor had an option on nine acres of land at the northeast corner of Douglas Avenue and 4 Mile Road in Caledonia, just north of the city of Racine, and it planned to build a shopping center on the site, which would contain a 72900 sqft Kmart store as well as a 26000 sqft supermarket. The shopping center was intended to open in fall 1980, but Vestcor's option expired without any further action.

M&I Bank purchased two acres of land on the same corner, and announced in March 1985 that it would build a bank branch at the site. In January 1989, it was reported that MSI General Corporation was planning to develop a shopping center around the M&I Bank branch, which was to include a Kohl's Sav-a-Center supermarket. Kohl's ultimately opened Kohl's Food Emporium, a 31500 sqft supermarket advertised as "the first of its kind in the Kohl's chain", on May 20, 1990. Later in 1990, MSI began construction on several new retail spaces north of the Kohl's building, and the development was given the name Greentree Centre. Kmart, which had previously considered the same site for a north Racine store in 1979, announced in September 1990 that it would become the primary anchor store of Greentree Centre.

Kmart #3851 opened at Greentree Centre on May 20, 1991, with a grand opening ceremony on May 23. Businesses began to open in the eight smaller retail spaces between Kmart and Kohl's, including Cost Cutters in August 1991.
