From Blake Lemcke, Owner.

Please describe your business/efforts in Highland Park.

Bricks & Minifigs is an authorized LEGO® retailer that specializes in used, retired and hard-to-find LEGO sets and minifigures. Our ‘Buy, Sell, Trade’ model is popular with both kids and adult collectors. We also host birthday parties, summer classes and special events in our party room! We are a small, locally-owned business thriving to bring the joy and creativity of LEGO to all!

When did you first start your business/efforts in Highland Park?

I’ve worked in St Paul for nearly 20 years and in early 2024 decided it would be a great place to start a business! The store opened on January 11, 2025.

What was the inspiration for doing the work you do?

I am a lifelong fan of LEGO and being a Dad myself, could not resist seeing the happiness it brings to so many different people – both young and old!

What’s your favorite thing about Highland Park?

Highland Disc Golf course!
