South Lyndale Liquors will soon open huge new store

South Lyndale Liquors announced its newly constructed store at 5516 Lyndale Ave. S. in Minneapolis will open on Oct. 4.

What we're watching: The new store will be nearly twice the size of its existing one, which is just a few blocks north.

• According to its business plan, the new location will also have a cheese store and meeting room. A job posting also indicates it will sell sandwiches.

Context: At 19,500 square feet, it is nearly the size of a typical Total Wine store.

My thought bubble: I poked my head in the store Thursday and it looks like it's going to be fantastic, with two-story ceiling heights and the cheese shop near the front entrance.

Of note: Owner Dan Campo could not be reached for comment.
