The subject of August's edition of Kewanee Back When is the history of Midland Plaza. The shopping area now home to Arby's and anchored by the ever popular Menards came life in the late 1960's and early 70's with the move of the Kroger's Grocery Store from Main Street in Kewanee, where B & B Printing now stands, to Midland where Rent A Center and Goodwill are now located. Back then, the space was also anchored by W.T Grant before K-Mart came to Kewanee for a relatively short amount of time. The history of Midland Shopping Center on Kewanee Back When on WKEI.
