Galleria Edina
Encyclopedia
The Galleria is an upscale shopping mall
in Edina
, Minnesota
anchored solely by Gabberts Furniture. This mall is located directly across the street from the world's first enclosed mall, Southdale Center
, which originally opened in 1956, although The Galleria is now more upscale than Southdale. The Galleria's sole anchor store is considered to be Gabberts Furniture.
In 2004, the Galeria Edina garnered attention in the shopping centre industry by implementing a, at the time, new idea of a electronic gift registry where registrants may specify items from multiple merchants at the center.
in 2006, the Galleria Edina received City Council approval for an expansion project and site development. The Galleria's plan calls for an $85 million project to be attached to the eastern portion of the shopping center. The addition will include a 225-room Westin hotel and 82 luxury condos that are scheduled for completion in 2008.
