Stillwater. The first city settled in Minnesota on March 4, 1854. Historic, beautiful and located on the St.Croix river. The river separates Wisconsin and Minnesota- Hudson and Stillwater. The city is also located near the twin cities/St.Paul side but has a much more local, hometown, small community feel. Hence, why it is perfect for ModernRoots.
I am NOT moving the Buffalo store. The Buffalo store is my Flagship. Where the product is made and grown.
The building is in need of an updo, re-do, do-over or whatever you want to call it. For the past 3 months I have been negotiating and meeting with the real estate people/owner and contractors to see what the damage is to make this building pretty (ahem, compliant) once again.
The Stillwater store location is centered right on main street in the middle of all the fantastic stores, restaurants and water front.
Since I have so many customers that mail order from that area, it will be a great way for them to be able to go to a physical store to sniff...that is until I invent scratch and sniff internet.
The area is so quaint, old yet modern. Just like ModernRoots.
There will be lots of new products that really encompass the essence of Stillwater including the St. Croix River. I am so excited to be apart of the Stillwater history! Here are some pictures of the store/location.
