Cub Foods Opens First Urban-Format Store this Week — but will There be Another?

Cub Foods this week opens its first small-scale store in Minneapolis, a concept tailored for urban neighborhoods and with a focus on prepared foods and quick-service items.

The Star Tribune reports on the last-minute preparations for the new store, which is opening on the ground floor of a mixed-use development by Oppidan Investment Co. at 46th Street and Hiawatha Avenue in south Minneapolis.

At 46,000 square feet, it’s a bit more than half the size of a typical Cub Food grocery store. It also features fewer typical grocery shelf items with more space given over to grab-and-go stations, a deli counter and popcorn bar. It also has a kombucha tap — a first for a Cub Foods.
