DSW outlets to open within Minneapolis Hy-vee locations

Columbus-based Designer Brands, the parent of DSW, has begun opening DSW outlets in Hy-vee supermarket stores in Minneapolis.

By Oct. 2, six DSW stores-withinstores will open at Hy-vee locations in Minneapolis. DSW plans to open additional shops in other Hy-vee locations in 2021.

The 1,200-square-foot Hy-vee DSW outlets will offer approximately 200 choices of footwear for men, women and children. Customers will be able to try on shoes at the stores.

Patton still hopes to redevelop Golden Bear Shopping Center

Despite Upper Arlington City Council’s rejection last week of his appeal to redevelop the Golden Bear Shopping Center, the man behind the project said he’s committed to the site and is exploring options to move forward.

Council voted Sept. 16 uphold the Upper Arlington Board of Zoning and Planning’s 6-1 rejection of redevelopment plans from Arcadia Development of Ohio.

Scott Patton, Arcadia managing partner, has proposed redeveloping the one-story Golden Bear Shopping Center into a five-story, 199,847-square-foot mixed-use building that would house 22,000 square feet of office, retail and restaurant space, 102 condos on the upper four floors and a parking garage.

Patton said he’s pressing on with the same proposal, even though the council’s decision was the end of the road for his proposed $50 million project, at least in terms of appealing to the city.

He could take the case to the Franklin County Common Pleas Court, but he said he hasn’t decided if he will.
