2000 2001 2002 2003 Shakopee Dakota Convenience Store Mazopiye Ed Ohi³ni Oka³pi ªni Store is always busy SDCS is proud to have kept 75% of its employees since 2000, impressive for the convenience store industry. One of the busiest convenience stores in the state, SDCS has the reputation of also being the friendliest. Known as the Home of the Show-N-Go keychain, SDCS established itself as the place to buy gasoline at the lowest retail price in the local area. Monthly sales are also popular with customers. As a result, sales volume continues to grow. SDCS also plays host to multiple annual events that have contributed to the SDCS’s reputation as the place to shop for great prices and unusual events. These events include the annual “Tax Day Isn’t a Bad Day” event on April 15, the anniversary celebration held every February 14, a July open house and sidewalk sale, and autograph signings by Vikings players Michael Bennet, Daunte Culpepper, Kailee Wong, Matt Birk, and the Wild’s Wes Walz. The fifth annual Tax Day event, held in 2003, set a record high for inside merchandise sales. A second self-service, drive-through car wash bay opened in February 2000. In 2002, Oaks Lane was widened and realigned so that the intersection now lines up as part of Dakotah Parkway. The SDCS parking lot was expanded, employee parking added, and two new double sided Charge-N-Go gas pumps were installed. 28
Dakota Mall Dakota Owopetu³ Ta³ka Shopping center Dakota Mall celebrates its tenth anniversary during the month of November 2003. As the home to South Metro Federal Credit Union, American Looks Salon and Spa, Carlson Wagonlit Travel, and the Shakopee Dakota Convenience Store, Dakota Mall remains an active retail destination. During the past four years, with the closing of Impress Your Self, additional space became available and three of the tenants took advantage of the opportunity to expand the size of their operations. Renovations were completed in 2002 for South Metro Federal Credit Union, American Looks Salon and Spa, and Carlson Wagonlit Travel. All four tenants celebrated the renovations with a July 2002 open house and sidewalk sale. The success of that event resulted in a second annual open house in July 2003. In 2001 the exterior trim was painted a bright red with the color also added to the convenience store canopy and the car wash. New red awnings completed the exterior upgrade. The re-alignment of Oaks Lane and the installation of the traffic lights at the corner of Oaks Lane and County Road 83 was a benefit to all tenants as it improved customer access. Feasibility studies were underway in the fall of 2003 to determine whether a new, larger Dakota Mall will be built on the existing site. Early plans include the possibility of a stand-alone convenience store and a two-story retail mall. 29
