MANKATO â When Gina Moorhead moved to Mankato in 2018, a sign on a vacant building downtown at 615 S. Front St. caught her eye.
âIt was a sign on the window that said, âComing in 2018: micro-shops,ââ Moorhead recalled. âI thought, âThat looks really interesting.ââ
Little did she know at the time that that sign would propel her to become the general manager of Union Market at that very location. The store features a variety of products made by local and regional artisans, which had a soft opening in June 2018 before revamping the store in 2020.
