Another ten vendors announced for The Departments at Dayton’s
Today, The Dayton’s Project announced the second round of brands to be hosted in its inaugural maker’s market, The Departments at Dayton’s. The building and the maker’s market will open to the public on November 18, 2021, after undergoing a $350 million historic redevelopment.
“This collection of makers really demonstrates the breadth and quality of brands that will be available at The Departments at Dayton’s, and only at The Departments at Dayton’s,” said Tricia Pitchford, Principal of Mid-America Real Estate. “We are incredibly excited for The Dayton’s Project to be a platform for these incredible makers.”
Brands that are part of the inaugural cohort include: Grass Lake Furniture, craftsman style furniture and cutting boards; Wewerka Photography, Atmospheric landscape photography; Handmod, Handmade art with personality; Seventeen Birch, Upscale lifestyle clothing and products; Herbal Alchemy, Nature-based advanced skincare; Molly Pepper, LA-based sleep-lounge-lifestyle brand; Minnesota Awesome, MN-made MN pride clothing and accessories; SJC Body Love, Handcrafted health-focused skincare products; Shop in the City, Specialty lifestyle gifts and clothing (including Dayton’s gear); Hacienda San Jose, Mission-driven high quality chocolate.
For the first time since 2001, shoppers will be able to purchase Dayton’s-branded clothing items, including shirts and hoodies featuring the Dayton’s logo.
“This holiday season is all about quality goods that reflect the community. The Departments at Dayton’s brings a retail experience you simply can’t get anywhere else,” remarked Mich Berthiaume, the curator of The Departments at Dayton’s. “Shopping local not only allows you to support your local economy, it also helps to bypass the issues we’re seeing with the global supply chain.”
The Departments at Dayton’s is the newest addition to The Dayton’s Project, a landmark historic restoration development in downtown Minneapolis. The Dayton’s Project offers 1.2 million square feet of Minneapolis history transformed for modern city life. Global professional services firm, Ernst & Young Global Limited, signed a 30,000 SF lease at The Dayton’s Project earlier this year. They will have access to The Dayton’s Project’s best-in-class amenities, including a 10,000 SF fitness center, library, rooftop deck and tenant lounge.
The building is set to announce the final set of the 30 total vendors in early November. Follow @thedepartmentsatdaytons on social media or visit thedepartmentsatdaytons.com for more information.
