I was just up in Duluth recently. If we were to bring in one more outdoor store, I'd want it to be Duluth Trading Company! Man, their shirts are awesome.
I'd rather have a Duluth Pack store, but I think the Uptown market for outdoor gear seems pretty cornered, what with a Columbia, North Face, and Arc'teryx right there.

I'm fine with not duplicating Duluth Pack, Fitgers, etc., in Minneapolis.

Seems there's a new tenant moving in...Peoples Organic signed a lease according to an Ackerberg release. Opening in January.

I think Duluth Trading Co. only recently started opening brick and mortar stores. They used to be a catalog. Or something. Pretty sure there's not even a store in Duluth.

There is a newer store in Richfield (?) just off 35W.
There's a store in Duluth. You are right that brick & mortar is new for them. It just seems like a good fit to have a local-ish outfitter-ish company in Uptown, what with the lakes, Wirth, Loppet, biking, hiking, etc. all nearby.

Ha. Posted that two posts up. The Biz Journal just hadn't put up an article yet.

It does look like a pretty good catch though.

People's Organic has great coffee and food. Nice it will be located near the intersection to add some bustle.

I quit going there because it was always too crowded. The location is still on their website.

They are always extremely busy, I can't imagine them closing.

Made 3 attempts to call and it rang 4 times and then clicked and went silent. Had a friend that went to join and he said that it was closed. Will be downtown today so I'll not be able to check it out. But Ackerberg maybe is trying to use the space for something else. I have no idea.

Seems like if it were the case, people would be mentioning on Twitter. Nothing: https://twitter.com/search?f=realtime&q ... s&src=typd

^Can't confirm a close/open, but I was in Uptown on Saturday and walked into Calhoun Square to warm up a bit. Definitely saw people who had clearly just worked out walking around the lower floor of the building.

Good research by the UrbanMSP consortium. Well done.

It's the only consortium that seems to accomplish anything.

Two tidbits from the new issue of the Uptown Neighborhood News: Ackerberg is in negotiations to lease the former Figlio space. Also, it mentioned they plan to build a hotel on the empty lot in front of the parking ramp, but didn't provide any details.

Finally some movement on this. With all the residential progress this area has made there sure doesn't seem like much in the way of commercial. Now with Mozaic II being downsized it is bewildering there isn't more of a demand for office and commercial. Glad to hear about the hotel and the location of it.
