June at 50th and France
After 13 years operating her luxury consignment and resale business in Uptown, Daune Stinson has taken June to Edina’s 50th and France district.
According to Stinson, the new location just feels like a better fit, as many of her customers come from the Edina and surrounding Southwest neighborhoods.
Over the last year, Uptown has taken a massive retail hit (more over at our sister publication, Twin Cities Business), losing brands like Apple, The North Face, MAC, and most recently, locally-owned Local Motion Boutique, who shuttered its doors after 36 years in the neighborhood last month.
“The Edina neighborhood is really having a resurgence," says Stinson, who looked for a high-traffic shopping destination neighborhood to better suit her luxe fashion-forward, brand-loyal customer. The district also welcomed three other local retailers (Flirt Boutique, Stranger & Co., and SIX for Good) in its new, mixed-use development Nolan Mains. National boutique fitness concepts Soul Cycle, The Bar Method, and Basecamp Fitness also have plans to open at 50th and France this year.
As for the original space? Stinson’s daughter, Ruby, has taken it over as a next-gen resale and vintage shop called Legacy (3406 Lyndale Ave.), where you’ll discover a wider variety of price points and brands, plus a smattering of home decor and lifestyle items nestled in the vintage band tees, denim Levi’s and 90s Eileen Fisher blazers.
