Talk:Northtown Mall (Blaine, Minnesota)

Untitled
I'm looking for some more specifics on the former anchors here. Was the HomePlace/Best Buy space originally another anchor? If so, which one? And where was Woolworth? Also, when did the food court open? TenPoundHammer 02:15, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

// HomePlace and Best Buy were indeed in the old Woolworths. Best Buy, however, had been at Northtown before the closing of Woolworths.

// The ex-Montgomery Wards served briefly as a space for one company to sell discounted furniture, although I can't recall the name of the company.

// Bank's, an old discount department store in Minneapolis that closed down in 1999 briefly opened a location in part of the former Donaldson's/Carson's/Mervyn's site after insurance closeout merchandise was absorbed from the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. The store has been closed since January 2006. The territory was carved out so as to allow people to continue using the parking in front of the store, and basically serves as a hallway entrance to the mall.

// Hope this helps. rmsharpe 21:33, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Southtown—also anchored by Montgomery Ward—opened in 1960, twelve years before Northtown. 75.72.3.177 (talk) 02:54, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
