Shinders, 733 Hennepin Ave
This building has sat vacant since before I moved here, I believe. I went digging for some history on it and found the following:
“Shinders, founded by five brothers in 1916 shortly after they immigrated from Russia, opened its first location at the corner of S. 6th Street and Hennepin Avenue and adopted the jingle “Rain, sun, snow or sleet, there’s always a Shinder on the street.” The business was in its heyday in the 1940s and ’50s, selling thousands of newspapers and “huge piles” of magazines daily, said Shinder.” - Matt McKinney, Star Tribune, July ‘07
According to MSP Business Journal, Shea, Inc. will be moving in and there is talk of a restaurant.
Just walking by there talking about what could go in the other day.
