The South Milwaukee Planet Fitness is relocating to Oak Creek this summer.

Office Max, 9001 S. Howell Ave. in Oak Creek is closing and currently running a “nothing held back” sale ― including fixtures. This will be where the Oak Creek Planet Fitness will open, according to Heather Pearson, public relations manager for Planet Fitness.

Pearson said the switch will happen this summer to provide additional floor space to offer strength and cardio equipment, a larger Black Card Spa space for Black Card members, and other amenities.

“Summer is the current timeline for the opening,” Pearson said. “We do not have an exact date to share.”

There was no word on when the South Milwaukee Planet Fitness location at 2901 S. Chicago Ave. will cease operations.

Oak Creek City Administrator Andrew Vickers confirmed Jan. 8 the city received plans for Planet Fitness in the Office Max space.

In social media groups, some speculated that neighboring Sherwin Williams and Kohl’s could also be closing but those were just rumors.

Vickers said there are two different owners despite the stores seeming to be connected. He said the Kohl’s space, 9035 S. Howell Ave., is owned by Vereit Real Estate, LP, while the Office Max and Sherwin Williams spaces, 9001 S. Howell Ave., are owned by BDP Oak Creek WI RE LLC.

“Kohl’s is completely separate and not impacted,” Vickers said.
