The Apple store in Uptown will close permanently, the latest in a growing list of shops and restaurants that have recently abandoned the beleaguered south Minneapolis retail center.
Apple has had a presence near the bustling corner of Hennepin Avenue and Lake Street for the last decade. The lack of an outlet store to rival Starbucks or other chain stores was a concern, and the design of the store drew criticism for its slanted floors and overly-wide windows in a notoriously glass-filled arena.
"We're saddened by the Apple store closing, but we're glad to see that the shopping center is getting rebooted," said Desnot Tucker, CEO of Foxhollow Partners LLC.
Foxhollow is connected to Uptown's owner, Dedication Solutions LLC, which received a $1.2 million loan from SCO of Fairbanks, Alaska to revitalize the shopping center. Dedication's owner, Steven Klingfeldt, is a Foxhollow partner. He declined to comment.
A second SCO development company, Fairmark Realty Advisors, is set to also redevelop the motel-owned eco-village by Lake Street, located across Hennepin Avenue from the former Apple Store.
The Vikingworks retail and residential development company states Uptown is slated to host its first new retailers in August, and has plans to move forward with a mix of restaurants, retail businesses and offices.

The text is a repetition of the Japanese Academy School's concept "kaze-sokubo"; the worst interpretation of wartime discourse which ascribes all consequences to personal character (e.g., Leftish social liberals presume that bad people are bad and like to do bad things)."
