Here are some of the details from the company’s news release:

Global lifestyle and design brand West Elm will open its first downtown Minneapolis store Thursday, March 5 in the heart of the North Loop. The new 11,000-sq.-foot store is located on the ground floor of the SECOND + SECOND development.
