Visions for Vacancy: Former World Market Site
The building next to the upcoming new Whole Foods Market is empty. What do you think would be a good neighbor for the natural and organic foods supermarket?
With the recent announcement by Whole Foods Market that it would be occupying the former Ultimate Electronics site at The Shoppes at Arbor Lakes, the neighboring empty building might now be more enticing to other businesses.
The building, located at 12209 Elm Creek Boulevard in Maple Grove, is the site of the former World Market retailer that closed in 2007.
What would you like to see go into the former World Market building at The Shoppes at Arbor Lakes? Share your ideas in comments below.

It really would be nice to have an upscale departemend store here in MG. JCPenney and Kohl's just isn't enough

Here's some ideas from the Maple Grove Patch Facebook page: Hobby Lobby, Container Store, Herbergers, Chuck and Don's, Cheesecake Factory, TJ Maxx, Macy's, Zara and a tennis club. What do you think of these suggestions?

CHEESECAKE FACTORY! GOLD MINE, look at ' Wild Bill's, its packed every nite.
There were two other business's there, both did not make it. But a ' Cheesecake Factory, Gold Mine. Just like the one in Eden Praire look at the business.why reenvent the wheel. A hobby store should be added with Gadner Mountains space available, they could put one there. Or a HobbyTown, there are a lot of good ideas out there, I want to buy the ole' Kentucky Fried Chicken, and raise it back up again. Hey did you see the ' White Castle accross form Wal-Mart on Dunkirk and County 30, the police will have to direct traffic, remember, ' Krispy Creme! Police directed traffic for months. That will be White Castle, I have'nt had one of those, since I was a kid. I can't wait. GET'R-DONE!

The Container Store. Both Whole Foods and The Container Store epitomize Corporate Social Responsibility, which Maple Grove really needs!
