Thanks for your input. I would like to know more. How was it decided that Rainbow would build a store at 29th and Dupont in Lowry Hill East and at 27th and Lake in Longfellow instead of Nicollet and Lake, Park, Portland, Chicago, Bloomington or Cedar or Hiawatha and Lake? What statistics go into the development of the equation that justifies locating a business in a particular area? Knowing this might help educate me and others about just how these decisions are made.
Elliot Park spent NRP funds doing a market study to prove that there was a population to sustain a grocery store in the neighborhood. I believe the outcome of the study showed that the necessary elements were present to attract a grocer. While Elliot Park has been extremely successful in turning the tide in that neighborhood through strategic development partnerships, they have yet to attract a grocer. I wonder how quickly that will change now that there is a large infusion of market rate condos and apartments being developed in the area.
