Lunds and Byerlys

New to the area, we hadn’t a clue where to stop for groceries when we found this place on Unilocal.Top market with lots of choices– fresh ingredients well presented and cared for. If I were a local, this would be my market!

Don’t waste your money on any groceries from any Lunds store. Cub foods has the exact same items for sometimes more than half the price. I don’t have money to just give away. What a joke!

The amount of times I’ve been to this grocery store in my 28 years on this Earth couldn’t possibly be counted. The renovations threw me off at first, but I’m very impressed with the decisions Lunds’ made to change with the times rather than fade away and close down. The fresh stuff is great, the sushi chefs are impressive for being landlocked by a solid 1500 miles on all sides, and the prices are decent enough. Lots of love for Lund’s, always.

If you find yourself on 50^th in Southwest, just keep on going and you’ll be in Edina, and at the famous corner of 50^th and France you’ll be in a really cool strip mall with Lunds at the center. I love this one, the Caribou is right in the place to the right as you enter, and so are the bathrooms. There is always some kind of sale going on. Always on soda, but I got a good one if you buy 3 pints of sherbert. It was the day after Easter, so all the candy was up front, I was pretty restrained with just a pack of marshmellow chicks. I got some info that they carry artisan greens, and have a good relationship with the farmers. It always looks fresh. I don’t know if all stores carry marshmellow Fluff, but Lunds does, and it’s great in hot chocolate. They may still have Passover items left.

My wife and I entered Lund’s and there was a plethora of fresh and lots of organic produce right when you walk in. This is after you pass by a comfy looking Caribou Coffee off to the right.
Towards the back of the store is an awesome looking butcher and fish department. There were tons of Crab Legs and Lobster tails, along with lots of specialties like bacon wrapped tenderloins and tons of Salmon. My favorite. They also had lobster tails and calamari to add to the fun.
Next to the butcher is a wonderful bakery with lots of chocolate specialties and great looking bread. My wife and I were thinking of all the great sandwiches we could make with the awesome looking rolls.
The freezer section housed lots of organic foods and unique stuff you don’t see in your local Cub.
Then around the bend you come to the Big Bowl section that has lots of greasy looking Chinese food, but it looked good. They also have an phenomenal salad bar with lots of olives and some marinated garlic that looked like candy.
They also have many rotisserie chickens and homemade soups available. They looked fantastic.
Along those lines are a huge selection hummus and lots of Greek yogurt, which my wife thought was pretty cool.
Every aisle we went down, we were in awe of all the cool stuff they had in stock. The thing is, they are way expensive. That is why I gave it a 4 instead of a 5 star.
And then I turned the corner, I saw the light. The Rooster was calling my name… Sriracha…Sriracha…Sriracha…My boss has said this is a staple in his home and now I get the chance to try it. Hot sauce is my love, and now I get to try the supposed king. Life is good.
When we checked out, the service was great. A solid store.
