Turns out it was quickly re-brand to Two Men Wireless which sells Verizon phones.

Now, Verizon has officially opened a store across from Kwik Trip.

That’s great news for Verizon customers!

The 5th annual scarecrow contest will partner ideas from the community with business to create fun and interesting scarecrows. They will then be placed around town for everyone to enjoy.

The contest officially goes from October 6 to the 9th, but most scarecrows will probably be up through Halloween.

I don’t know if they switched restaurants, or if we are getting both, but I have been able to confirm that the city has approved the sight plans for Ground Round over by the AmericInn.

No idea when construction would start or when it’d open.

The location would be over by the AmericInn.

I haven’t been able to confirm this, but my source is pretty reliable.

Hopefully it’s true!

They have hundreds of pumpkins that you can choose from.

Shop the already picked pumpkins and pay by the pound, or pick your own and pay $4 a pumpkin or 3 for $11.

If you pick your own, you can choose any pumpkin, any size, any shape as long as it’s still on the vine. And the selection is massive!

They also have other fall decorations like gourds, corn, and mini-pumpkins.

It’s fun and picking your own pumpkins is a great family activity!

I think that all RedBoxes are getting them, but I’m not sure

Blu-Ray DVDs are only $1.50 a night which is a great deal!

Blockbuster Express is the same idea, only in a blue box.

The Blockbuster Express machine is located at Kwik Trip and, from what I know, works the same way as RedBox does with no memberships and only a dollar a night rentals.

Now the cheap and easy movie rental service has 4 locations in Waconia.

Where are they?

  • Mackenthun’s (inside)
  • McDonalds (inside)
  • Wallgreens (outside)
  • Holiday (outside)

That’s great news for people who like to rent movies for only a $1 a night, but not so good news for the video stores in town who have to be hurting from the ever expanding Redboxes.

I think it’s now called Two Men Wireless or something like that. Not sure why the name change, but hopefully it’s still a Verizon authorized dealer.
