LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- The Kentucky Derby Museum's store is preparing for its grand reopening after seeing an increase in business over the past few years. 

Officials say sales at the store were up nearly 17% from 2021 to 2022, with 14% more customers served. 

The 1,500-square-foot store has been closed for nearly a month as it underwent renovations including new paint, new flooring, and new displays.

The Derby Museum Store is open M-Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sundays noon to 5 p.m.
