Is Gateway Commons about to get bigger?

The owners of the shopping center, Gulfstream Commercial Services, posted a map on Facebook showing Boot Barn, Buckle, Old Navy, Sierra Trading Post and HomeGoods “coming summer 2025.”

The site is between the main strip center and the site where Publix has announced plans to build a supermarket next year.

But the company said it had no comment about the post.

Sierra and HomeGoods are part of the TJX companies, which includes TJ Maxx.

Buckle is a fashion retailer.

Boot Barn is a western wear chain.

Old Navy has been rumored to be coming to Owensboro since 2000.
