The owner of popular Linden Hills butcher shop Clancey's Meats & Fish has purchased the former Grand Cafe restaurant in southwest Minneapolis.

State of play: An entity tied to Clancey's owner Kristin Tombers bought the building in early February and was issued a permit for a $478,000 remodel for a "Clancey's Restaurant," according to state and city property records.

Tombers could not be reached for comment.

Catch up fast: The small space, at 3804 Grand Ave., has long been home to Grand Cafe and was most recently headed up by James Beard Award-winning chef Jamie Malone.

But it closed in November 2020 as Malone pivoted to focus on other endeavors.
