Biz Buzz: Really Cool Living expanding at Crossroads Center

ST. CLOUD — Really Cool Living, a furniture and home goods store, is moving at Crossroads Center mall.

The business will move inside the former H&M store, which closed earlier this year. Really Cool Living owner Robert Murphy said the space is nearly four times bigger than the furniture store’s current space at Crossroads Center.
