They've locked the street-facing door again, downtown is no longer back.

"Mad Chicken, a Wisconsin-based fried chicken chain, will open its first Minnesota location in a downtown Minneapolis building once occupied by American Army Navy Surplus Store." - 1st Avenue & N 4th St


P.S. I'm going to merge this thread and the "Downtown Restaurant News" into a single thread, while also archiving everything from before March 2020. There's too much good historical conversation about the state of downtown retail circa 2012 to actually delete it, but I think it will be good to have a single thread going forward, and not have it be 200 pages long

Good news. I was concerned it was going to continue to be empty for awhile.

David Fhima is opening another Mother Dough in the old Men's Wearhouse space in US Bancorp Center next spring. Every time Mother Dough is in the news I laugh at how committed everyone remains to the idea that the Capella Tower street level and skyway level spaces are totally independent entities.

I was so sad to hear that - had my first date with my now-husband at that wonderful place. I highly recommend the Cranman drink at the NE location. It's up there with the All Saints Saturnalia as the best drink in town.

Walked by Mayo Clinic Square yesterday, an Insomnia Cookies is going in where the old Starbucks was facing 1st Ave.
