Edina, Minn. (August 24, 2017) – Lund Food Holdings, Inc. has signed a letter of intent with developer John Johannson to build a full‐service Lunds & Byerlys grocery store in the Tower Crossings development near the intersection of Interstate 35E and County Road 96 in White Bear Lake.

“We are committed to continuing to grow our presence throughout the Twin Cities, and White Bear Lake is a community we’ve been interested in for a number of years,” said Tres Lund, CEO of Lunds & Byerlys. “We look forward to providing the community the best of everything we offer, which includes a sharp focus on extraordinary food, exceptional service, passionate expertise and competitive prices.”

Preliminary plans call for the approximately 47,000‐square‐foot store to feature many amenities, including a Wines & Spirits shop and Creations Café, which features a vast array of chef‐crafted meal options for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Lunds & Byerlys, along with the developer, are jointly seeking city approvals for the project and additional store details, a construction timeline and an anticipated opening date won’t be determined until all necessary approvals have been received.
