Retailers in the Karcher/Midland interchange area of Nampa will witness some big changes in the upcoming months. The first major event will be the closure of Nampa’s K-mart this August.  K-mart's exit will open up significant opportunities for new tenants looking for space in this growing market. The second event will occur this fall, when construction should be finished on Burlington Coat Factory’s new 40,000 square foot store at Treasure Valley Crossing. Burlington's current big-box space in the Karcher Mall will become available for new tenants looking to land in Nampa's only mall.
