Rogan's Shoes Laces Up for Westward Move

Rogan's Shoes will soon have a new home.

The store, which currently anchors the Cambridge Commons shopping center, will relocate to the former Arlington Academy beauty school site in the Strathmore Square shopping center.

The Village of Buffalo Grove issued a demolition permit last month, followed by an April 2 permit for the store to remodel the building. Work is already in progress; construction tools and a vehicle are visible through the store's windows.

The store is also expected to request approval for facade improvements, Village Manager Dane Bragg said.

A Rogan's Shoes employee said Monday via the store's Facebook fan page that the store will likely relocate in June.

The move comes as the owner of the Cambridge Commons shopping center advances in its remodeling plans. Fresh Farms will replace Rogan's as the anchor store. Rogan's was originally slated to move to a smaller storefront in that shopping center once it is remodeled.

Demolition is underway in the now-empty Cambridge Commons storefronts. Currently, only Rogan's Shoes, Little Caesar's and Illinois Dental Center remain open for business.
