As part of the METRO Red Line BRT, the transit station was relocated. A construction groundbreaking ceremony took place on April 14, 2009 and an opening ceremony took place on January 7, 2010. This location was originally a Menards location when it opened in 1986, then in 1998 it became a recreational store called Watson's and it became this transit station.

The station's parking structure was originally 3 stories tall but was expanded in 2019 to 5 stories tall.
