Keg and Case Market ownership goes to lender after opening 5 years ago to fanfare

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 20:52:52 GMT

Early in a mid-November work week, the noontime crowd at the spacious Keg and Case Market consisted of six coffee drinkers completing crossword puzzles or scrolling through their phones and laptops by Five Watt Coffee, one of the market’s first and sole remaining vendors. Five men played fervent games of pinball in the aisles outside Starcade, a retro-video game arcade.Otherwise, upwards of 22,000 square feet of commercial space that had reopened on St. Paul’s West Seventh Street to much fanfare in September of 2018 had grown silent — a $10 million gamble weighed down by recent loan foreclosures and what critics have dubbed a fundamental mismatch between its food or retail offerings and the surrounding mixed-income neighborhood.Even longstanding customers have been offput by the market’s lack of international cuisine, affordable, grab-and-go foods or casual gathering space. Its signature brewery, Clutch Brewing Co., will close by the end of December.“If...

Fleck.“I’m absolutely convinced P.J. is the right guy,” Coyle said on the KFAN pregame show Saturday. “Nobody wants to win more than he does.”The Gophers’ two straight losses to the Illini and Boilermakers have dropped them to 5-5 overall, 3-4 in Big Ten play, going into a stiff test against No. 2 Ohio State on Saturday.The U went from first place in the Big Ten West in late October to needing one more win in late November to reach bowl eligibility with six victories.But Coyle said he’s seen how Fleck remains in demand in the broader college football landscape. And turnover among college coaches began to heat up last week with a number of firings across the country, headlined Texas A&M paying a $75 million buyout for Jimbo Fisher.“I know p...
