Tenants for the 19,000-square-foot retail space have yet be announced.
As Richfield's downtown center comes together, there is still plenty of space for new businesses to put down roots—especially at Lyndale Station. Lyndale Station replaced the former Kmart on 66th Street and Lyndale Avenue. The development's anchor tenant, LA Fitness, opened its doors last fall and a 19,000-square-foot retail space has been constructed. The last phase of construction will be a 8,500-square-foot restaurant space. While there are still no tenants announced for the retail or restaurant space, a restaurant is reportedly in lease negotiations now. Read: New Restaurant Coming to Lyndale Station?

LA Fitness is the only tenant at this time.
Thousands of retail and restaurant square footage still appear to be up for grabs at Lyndale Station, but that may change soon. The development, which replaced the former Kmart building, is anchored by LA Fitness. The developer, Wellington Management, Inc., has yet to name any other tenants for the adjacent 19,000-square-foot retail building or the future 8,500-square-foot restaurant space. Patch reached out to Lyndale Station property manager Todd Kaufman for details last week. Kaufman was unable to give any, however, he said the company should be able to give some "solid information" in the next few weeks. That information could be details on a new restaurant. According to Joanne Henry, a public relations representative with Henry …

Taco Bell will takeover the former Burger King spot on East 78th Street near Menards.
Taco Bell was welcomed back to Richfield Tuesday night by the city council. Following a public hearing, the council unanimously approved a conditional use permit and several variance requests, allowing Border Foods, Inc. to convert the former Burger King location at 140 E. 78th St. Menards real estate representative Tyler Edwards was on hand to share his company's objections to the proposed site plan. As previously reported by Patch, in two letters dated April 16 and May 1, and at the April 22 Richfield Planning Commission public hearing, Menards spoke against the proposed project. Much of the concerns centered around the aesthetics of the building and site. Read: Taco Bell Hopes to Return to Richfield in Former Burger King Spot "We don’t …

The city council will hold a public hearing at Tuesday night's meeting. However, Menards representatives will likely be on hand to recommend against the project as is.
Richfield may once again be home to a Taco Bell in the near future. The Richfield City Council will hold a public hearing Tuesday regarding a conditional use permit and variances for the business to revamp the former Burger King building at 140 E. 78th St. Burger King closed its doors last year after a fruitless attempt to be included late in the redevelopment of the adjacent Menards property. Taco Bell had a Richfield location on 66th Street near Penn Avenue that closed, and is now occupied by Mediterranean restaurant Aida.

Elisabeth: there's a lot of parking on site. While the large parking in the front of the building fills up quickly, there is also parking along 65th. It's a shame (both for parking capacity and for the urban potential of our downtown) that Wellington couldn't have taken the lead of Wood Lake Plaza and City Bella, and instead used a parking ramp at the back of the site. As it is, a restaurant … more ›
