Duluth’s Best Bread Will Open Weekly Minneapolis Market

Live Poll

Is it a good time for local businesses to expand operations into larger urban markets?

Duluth’s Best Bread will debut a weekly market space in Minneapolis on October 13, 2026. The new location will operate out of the existing Mix Cosmetiques shop within the downtown Lumber Exchange Building.

Why it matters

The bakery owner accepted this expansion opportunity to offer its products in Minneapolis after receiving an offer to share space with Mix Cosmetiques. This move brings goods from the Twin Ports area to a new city through a collaborative retail model.

The market will operate one day per week, specifically on Tuesdays, with hours from 11 am to 6 pm. This space expands the brand's reach beyond its existing two locations in Duluth and one in Superior.

The players

Duluth’s Best Bread

This bakery business operates multiple store locations across Duluth and Superior.

Mix Cosmetiques

This company operates a storefront located within the Lumber Exchange Building in Minneapolis.

The details

Bakery items will be transported from the company’s Twin Ports area locations to the Minneapolis storefront for weekly sales. The market space is designed exclusively for grab-and-go service and does not include seating or coffee service.

The new market opens for business on October 13, 2026.
The market operates every Tuesday from 11 am to 6 pm.

Market Landscape

This partnership reflects a growing trend where small businesses utilize shop-in-shop collaborations to enter new markets while sharing overhead costs. By moving into an existing space, the bakery positions itself to tap into the downtown Minneapolis customer base without the capital intensity of a new lease.

Local residents can access grab-and-go bakery products every Tuesday starting in mid-October. Shoppers should note that the location does not provide seating or coffee services, as it is strictly a retail stop.

The takeaway

This partnership highlights how businesses can scale by leveraging shared infrastructure rather than traditional standalone storefronts. Residents looking to visit should plan for limited item quantities during the Tuesday operating hours.
