It's been a fixture on west Lake Street in south Minneapolis for decades, but after closing its doors in 2020, the former Kmart site is now the focus of a major redevelopment project - and the city is asking for input.
Crews began demolishing the former Supervalu store attached to the old Lake Street Kmart on Wednesday the first step towards reconnecting Nicollet Avenue at Lake Street in Minneapolis.

San Francisco-based Wells Fargo & Co. and Minneapolis-based nonprofit Project in Pride for Living (PPL) have inked a letter of intent to redevelop the heavily damaged bank site near the intersection of Lake Street and Nicollet Avenue in south Minneapolis.
The Wells Fargo bank branch at 3030 Nicollet Avenue sustained heavy damage and was set on fire during the social unrest in May 2020. The bank never reopened. Wells Fargo owns the entire south half of the full city block, a large 2.6-acre site. Wells Fargo issued a request for proposals to developers last fall.
