Scandinavian Interiors furniture store almost ready to open in Riverside, Iowa.

Kelly Wood is getting ready to open the new location for Scandinavian Interiors in Riverside, Iowa's Eastside Commercial Site development.  The planned opening day is Friday, December 3rd, 2010.


The store was a fixture for a number of years on the Coralville "Strip" but has been closed since the floods of 2008 almost (but not quite) inundated the business.  Wood, of rural Ainsworth, considered other locations to reopen the business and settled on Commercial Drive in the new Eastside Commercial Site in Riverside, Iowa just off US 218 and Hwy 22. 

Currently, the other major businesss in the subdivision include the new University of Iowa Health Care - River Crossing medical clinic, and Saints Avenue Custom Homes. The development is just south of the popular Travel Mart fueling station, convenience store and restaurant.

The general contractor for Kelly Wood was her husband, Matt Wood of Wood Construction. Don Marie Electric did the electric work.

The development is owned by the City of Riverside. Additional commercial lots are available through Kenneth Kucera of Riverside Realty.
