Pangea Market plans to expand its regional footprint by opening a second grocery store in Burnsville. The new location is expected to open its doors to the public in summer 2027.
Why it matters
The expansion brings the Pangea Market brand into a new community, providing residents with an additional grocery option. The move repurposes a retail space that has remained vacant since the departure of the previous tenant.
Pangea Market is expanding from its single existing location in Coon Rapids to operate two stores total. The new site will occupy the former Aldi building off Highway 13.
The players
Pangea Market
An independent grocery retailer that currently operates a single store location in Coon Rapids.
Aldi
A global discount supermarket chain that previously operated the retail space on Highway 13.
The details
Pangea Market has already shared a visual rendering of the planned Burnsville storefront to preview the upcoming conversion of the property. The building previously served as an Aldi before its closure in late June 2026.
Timeline
The Aldi location on Highway 13 closed in late June 2026.
The new Pangea Market is expected to open in summer 2027.
Market Landscape
Pangea Market's expansion follows the industry trend of reoccupying vacant grocery store footprints to secure prime real estate. This move allows the firm to compete in a new market by utilizing existing infrastructure instead of pursuing new construction.
Local shoppers in Burnsville will soon have an additional grocery destination to choose from once the market opens in 2027. This development restores a retail presence to the Highway 13 corridor following the closure of the previous supermarket.
The takeaway
Retailers often prioritize taking over pre-existing locations to expedite their entry into new suburban markets. Residents should anticipate future updates on construction progress as the summer 2027 opening date approaches.
