The Galleria is an upscale shopping mall in Edina, Minnesota anchored solely by Gabberts Furniture[1] . This mall is located directly across the street from America's first enclosed mall, Southdale Center, which originally opened in 1956.
In 2004, the Galleria Edina garnered attention in the shopping centre industry by implementing the then-novel idea of an electronic gift registry where registrants may specify items from multiple merchants at the center.[1]
In 2006, the Galleria Edina received City Council approval for an expansion project and site development. The Galleria's plan included an $85 million project attaching a Westin hotel.[2]
History
The Galleria began with Gabbert's Furniture Store in 1976. That same year, construction began to add shops connected to Gabbert's, and then to add a full enclosure, like the Southdale Center across the street. Local merchants in the center include Ampersand, dugo, Melly, Trail Mark, Hammer Made, Fawbush’s, H.O.B.O., Twill by Scott Dayton, Scheherazade and more. National and international luxury brands include Bang & Olufsen, Coach, Crate & Barrel, David Yurman, Eileen Fisher, kate spade new york, Louis Vuitton, lululemon, Restoration Hardware, Tiffany & Co. and Tumi. The center has six distinct restaurants, Pittsburgh Blue, Good Earth Restaurant, CRAVE, Peoples Organic Coffee & Wine Cafe, McCormick and Schmick's, and Big Bowl.[3]
