Noa, a restaurant focused on "seasonal California cooking", will be opening in the Mission space in the IDS Center
this summer.
Great news! Downtown Mpls. isn't dead - people haven't given up on it. Have confidence it will come back, hopefully stronger. Also see a new vegan restaurant is opening along First Avenue in the Knickerbox (sp?) Building.

Love it! It's people like the owners of this type of businesses who I believe will help bring back downtown.

Those are really limited hours. I don't know how are business can support itself like that.
Good luck to them though.

If it is the business I am thinking of their primary business is baking mixes not this store front. But those hours are limited

Ooh, fun. 8,000 sq feet must be one of the street level corners - wonder if it's the old Prime 6 spot, or on Nicollet?
From City Centers leasing site, looks like it will be on 6th Street next to the tower entrance. Sounds like the sports bar is a separate tenant (which is great news for City Center).

When I first saw this I said to myself "That's an awfully big space for someone selling watches".

Starbucks on 4th St next to Commons Park is closing on the 25th according to a sign on the door.
This one has stayed consistently busy through the pandemic because of the seating at the park right outside their door.
I wonder why they would hang on for this last year and a half only to close as things are moving back towards normal.

Minneapolis community comes together to raise funds to reopen iconic Band Box Diner
https://www.kare11.com/article/news/loc ... 89821788d6
Looks like they need to repair pipes, windows and find a new purveyor.
They've just met their goal but welcome any additional funds here:

They also had a big city funded loan in the 90s to build the current addition, make ADA improvements, etc.

Addition? Must be the part off to the side away from the kitchen? The place is tiny as it is, can't imagine it any smaller!

I wonder what our peak DIY yogurt shop saturation was, and how many we have left.
