The Golden Gate Inn, formerly the Golden Gate Motel, was constructed in 1976. It was recently purchased by the corporation that runs the nearby Kwik Trip. The lot will become semi parking and allow for an expansion of the store that includes a new liquor store. The current Kwik Trip liquor store, formerly Gramma Polo's, will be torn down to make room for a car wash. The motel acquisition will also allow the convenience store access to the frontage road along County Highway 61, easing traffic flow along County Road 45.
