Favorite of Superior and Two Harbors now coming to Duluth!
Culver's creamy custard ice cream will be coming to Duluth in the next year! Culver's will be opening a new northland location in late summer/ early fall 2009. The new location will be located between Perkins and DTCU/Valvoline in Duluth Heights, on the corner of Mall Drive and Trinity Road. Culver's plans to begin construction as soon as possible on their new location and plan to have it open by the fall, but if the weather permits it may be open sooner. The new location will look far different than any other Culver's you have seen in the area. It will be the new Metro 98 prototype that totally abandons the original Culver's design. The new location will feature stone and tan siding on the exterior and a more modern feel to the store on the interior. Look for Butterburgers to begin being served with in the next nine months!

Duluth Target remodel set to begin in May.
Duluth's Target remodel has been scaled down a little since what was mentioned a few months ago. The remodel for the Duluth Heights Target is set to begin in May 2009. Duluth will be getting the P2004 design, without the exterior remodel or additional square footage. This will expand the consumables/grocery dept and overall update the whole interior design with new lighting and neon lighting along the walls matching the interior designs of Super Targets and other new interior designs. New cash registers are to also be included, although there will be four less than the current 22. There will also be more space around the pharmacy to alow for better cart flow and different departments throught the store will be moved to different areas. Additional details about the changes to the Duluth Target dealing with this remodel will become available when the construction date comes closer.
Make sure to sign the "Bring a Super Target to Duluth, Minnesota" petition if you would like one in the area!

Walmart Supercenter set to open in Hermantown
Walmart is giving Hermantown another chance to gain a Walmart Supercenter. Walmart began pursuing to open a Hermantown Walmart Supercenter in early February. This time instead of tearing down the old store and rebuilding behind a new 203,000 square foot store, Walmart has decided to just add on. Walmart will be adding on 66,000 square feet to the store and will be completing a total remodel to the exterior and interior of the old store. This would bring the total square footage of the store to 180,000 square feet. The new store will bring the newest Walmart Supercenter Prototype to Hermantown. This prototype features wider aisles, a more upscale look both interior and out, a center of the store location for its Pharmacy and many other new features. The Hermantown Planning commission has already passed the project, now the project just needs to go through one more process to be ok'd. Look for construction to begin in Spring 2009.

Hermantown's new Menards store is set to open next week (February 23rd-28th). The new 230,000 square foot store has a 5 acre sales floor, garden center, outdoor lumberyard and much more to offer. The new store is replacing the old Menards store that was demolished last summer. Hermantowns new Menards is classified as a Menards "Mega" store due to its massive size. The new building has a much wider front and is far deeper than the other store. The site also has two pad sites available in the front of the store that have yet to be leased. For those of you who think the West End store is too large, the Hermantown Store is even bigger.
