The Trust Project What is this? HORACE, N.D. — Hornbacher's is coming to Horace. The city of Horace announced on Facebook shortly before noon Friday, Nov. 13, that a new Hornbacher’s store is coming soon, with more details to follow. ADVERTISEMENT In the comments, the city said the new store will be east of McDonald's and south of Circle K. The McDonald's, at 7785 Jack's Way, officially opened Friday, Nov. 6. Paul Hankel, head of communications for the city of Horace, confirmed the location. "It's part of a slew of new businesses coming to town," Hankel said. "This is a big one; the people of the city have been waiting on this for a long time." In a press release shortly after initial publication, Coborn's Inc. announced the new Hornbacher's Grocery Store for Horace. Planning for the new store is underway, with additional details about the project timeline expected to be available in early 2027. "We take great pride in the Hornbacher's stores and what they mean to the neighborhoods they serve," Emily Coborn Wright, president of Coborn's, Inc., said in the release. "We are excited for this next chapter of the Hornbacher's story and look forward to becoming part of the Horace community." City of Horace Mayor Jeff Trudeau is also excited for Hornbacher's to open. ADVERTISEMENT "We are really excited about this project," Trudeau told The Forum in an email. "A grocery store has been the most-requested business to bring to Horace for several years, and we are proud to say it's finally happening. Hornbacher's will be a needed and welcome addition to our city." Founded by Ted Hornbacher and Jim Custer, Hornbacher’s began as a single SuperValu store in Moorhead and has grown to seven locations serving the Fargo-Moorhead area. Hornbacher’s became part of Coborn’s, Inc. in 2018, bringing together two companies with a shared commitment to supporting local communities and investing in people. Earlier this year, Hornbacher’s celebrated its 75th anniversary, marking decades of serving local shoppers and building connections throughout the Fargo-Moorhead area. Hankel said the city of Horace is also expecting an Ace Hardware — Burggraf's Ace Hardware, but details on that development cannot be confirmed at the moment.
