With Eagan now open, that brings the current count to five stores, including New Hope, Oakdale, Lakeville, and Brooklyn Park. Six sites that are either in construction or in planning include Cottage Grove, Robbinsdale, Maple Grove – two sites including 101 & 10, and Maple Grove Parkway, Savage and now Farmington. Whew!
HyVee has now purchased 40 acres at Bass Lake Road and Highway 101 in Maple Grove at a cost of $10.6 million or almost $6.00 per square foot, per Finance & Commerce reporting. This would give HyVee enough room for one of their 96,000 sf supermarkets, their convenience store pad site and up to 100,000 of additional retail space. Maple Grove has given them approval to develop their store here, along with the gas station, car wash and liquor store. No word on timing of any construction.
