The downtown Macy's undergoes a tot invasion as FAO Schwarz opens its 2,000 square foot toy department. More stores are to follow this fall, as the toy kingdom opens its doors at Maplewood, Rosedale, Ridgedale, Southdale, the Mall of America and Burnsville.
Corazon, the unique Minneapolis gifts and arts shop, has relocated its downtown branch to the new Bridgewater building near the Guthrie Theatre. Check out their new neighborhood and also browse a new selection of women’s apparel. As always, you’ll find an eclectic selection of gifts, stationary, jewelry and home accessories—plus a rotating gallery from local artists.
In town with the family? Bring the gang to St. Paul’s Grand Avenue for a little kid-friendly shopping. First stop: Wonderment, a toy store dedicated to natural toys that encourage creativity and imagination. The mother-owned Linden Hills shop has expanded its no-batteries-required concept to St. Paul. Next, stop by Siji Kids to stock up on little outfits during their huge blowout summer clearance. Save 10-70% through July as this specialty children’s clothing boutique makes room for new arrivals—including Puma and Converse shoes.
Galleria's second annual Summer Music Sampler is heating up Edina. Catch some of Minneapolis’ best local musicians live every Thursday from 6-8pm at one of the Galleria’s hot dining spots.

Edina’s Galleria expands their “shops of distinction” selection with the new BCBG Max Azria boutique. Surround yourself in BCBG favorites—stunning dresses, cute tops, flattering bottoms and perfect accessories—in the California-based label’s first-ever Upper Midwest location. While there, impress your friends by telling them that BCBG stands for "bon chic, bon genre"—a French phrase meaning "good style, good attitude."
Known for its immigrant heritage, Northeast Minneapolis continues to evolve into a chic urban shopping destination as new specialty stores emerge.
