Good Grocer to reopen volunteer-powered grocery store in south Minneapolis Closed since 2018, the volunteer-powered store is set to return Friday on Eat Street January 20, 2021 7:19pm Text size Copy shortlink:
Kurt Vickman believes it is finally time for some good news.
After his Lake Street grocery store was forced to close and relocate to make way for the Interstate 35W expansion a few years ago, Vickman is set to reopen his volunteer-powered Good Grocer in the heart of Eat Street on Friday. You just see everything shutting down, Vickman said. It s time for something to open up.
South Minneapolis commerce has been hit hard in the past year. The riots following the police killing of George Floyd added to temporary shutdowns, and slower traffic because of the coronavirus pandemic has caused closures.
