Support Grand Avenue Businesses During Construction Crawl 

Businesses on Grand between Snelling and Fairview have been feeling the effects of a major street reconstruction all summer. 

To help those businesses out, the Grand Avenue Business Association has partnered with several of the affected businesses, the Macalester-Groveland Community Council and the City of St. Paul to start a Construction Crawl promotion in the area.

From August through October, a dozen local shops, restaurants and businesses are offering exclusive deals when you use the Construction Crawl Card. You can download a card at, grandave.com/construction. 

Participating businesses include Abbot Paint and Carpet, Baking Betty’s, Fein Violins, French Meadow Bakery and Cafe, Healing Insight Acupuncture, Lakeside Orthodontics, Nothing Bundt Cakes, Patagonia, Pet Fresh Dog Wash, Sencha Tea Bar, Tumble Fresh Laundry an dZimmerman’s Dry goods. 

The street and sidewalk project on Grand started this spring and is expected to be largely completed this fall, with finishing touches, like bike racks, public art and any remaining clean up to be completed in the spring of 2026.
