Timeline of Kmart on Lake & Nicollet
The timeline of Kmart at 10 W.
Lake Street really boils down to 4 main periods: the decades leading up to the 1970's, the 1970's during which Kmart was in negotiation wit the city of Minneapolis, the bigbox boom between the 1970's to the early 2000's, and the last 5 years as the city of Minneapolis acquires the land and building.
