The company announced its plans for a 45,000-square-foot Lake Forest store on its website in July. The company hopes to open the store in 2015, it said in its press release.

Wednesday night's presentation is the first step in that process. The Plan Commission, which will later make a recommendation on the proposal to the City Council, will not take formal action on the proposal this week.
