Foxwell
Design duo Brad and Heather Fox, the couple behind HGTV's "Stay or Sell" and Fox Homes, a local boutique real estate and renovation company, finally have a place to showcase their home decor picks and help locals achieve their coveted style. Enter Foxwell, a multi-purpose studio, workspace, and retail store now open in Linden Hills. The shop portion boasts Fox-approved décor and accessories, smaller furniture pieces, plants, and a smattering of vintage and kids' items (there's even a play area to keep the kiddos distracted while parents indulge in a little retail therapy), as well as a spot for clients to come in for a design help and advice—from picking out new tile or just a set of throw pillows. Keep your eyes peeled for goods by local makers, as well as the subtle nod to Palm Springs, the couple's go-to travel destination. 4400 France Ave. S., Edina, @foxwellshopppe
Russell + Hazel @ MP3
After permanently closing its North Loop flagship due to COVID-19 impacts last month, the stationery and lifestyle brand announced a new partnership with its neighbor MartinPatrick3. Head to the one-stop shop—or what we call the "urban department store"—to find a full run of Russell + Hazel's chic, functional goods—desk and office organization, stationery, binders, filers, notebooks, calendars and planners, and more. Consider it a brand-in-residence-style collaboration...and we're here for the team up! 212 3rd Ave. N., Mpls., russellandhazel.com
Lululemon Wayzata
This week, the fitness and activewear brand is opening its doors in downtown Wayzata, marking its sixth Twin Cities location. According to Emily Keig, the new Wayzata store manager, Lulu has signed a one-year lease to test the Lake Minnetonka waters and gauge the market. "We already know there's a demand and an appetite farther west of Wayzata," says Keig, who reported Excelsior, Wayzata's sister town, to be a hot spot on its e-commerce map. Although Lululemon's Ridgedale store sits only four miles away, the brand hopes that the Wayzata location will alleviate some of the stress and pressure that its mall store faces—especially during the holiday season. To kick off the grand opening of the pop-up, located in the new development right next to the Grocer's Table, Lulu is teaming up with local restaurant Crisp & Green to host a distanced "Yoga in the Park," a free, 60-minute vinyasa class taught by Lululemon brand ambassador Caroline Klohs just outside of the Wayzata Library. Just bring your own mat. C&G will be providing the samples and the agua frescas. 332 Broadway Ave. S., Wayzata, lululemon.com
