WAUKESHA, Wis. — For its seventh store in the greater Chicagoland market, Top 100 retailer Steinhafels is venturing into northwest Indiana.
The Waukesha, Wis.-based, employee-owned retailer revealed plans for its next store in the market in Merrillville, Ind., which will come after the opening of its Orland Park, Ill., store that is anticipated for later this year.

This store, which will be Steinhafels’ 16th, is slated to open in 2025.
