History

Dayton Hudson Corporation, the owner of Southdale Center in Edina, Minnesota sold a 24-acre tract of land in May 1972 to Gabbert and Gabbert Company. [3] The land was bordered by France Avenue, York Avenue, W. 69th Street and W. 70th Street; and located directly across the street from Southdale. The parcel of land was adjacent to the Gabbert's furniture store, owned by Gabbert and Gabbert Company, which had been located there since 1956. The sale included the land and existing buildings of Southdale Ford, Cinema I & II, Schmitt Music Center, and Southdale Car Wash; as well as the land occupied by Southdale Bowl and Gabbert's. Gabbert & Gabbert Company said the purchase was made for investment purposes, and anticipation of construction in the near future.

The Galleria began with Gabbert's Furniture Store in 1976. That same year, construction began to add shops connected to Gabbert's, and then to add a full enclosure, like the Southdale Center across the street. Local merchants in the center include Ampersand, dugo, Melly, Trail Mark, Hammer Made, Fawbush's, H.O.B.O., Twill by Scott Dayton, Scheherazade and more. National and international luxury brands include Coach, Crate & Barrel, David Yurman, Eileen Fisher, kate spade new york, Louis Vuitton, lululemon, Tiffany & Co. and Tumi. The center has seven restaurants, Pittsburgh Blue, CŌV, Good Earth Restaurant, Barnes & Noble kitchen, CRAVE, McCormick and Schmick's, and Big Bowl.
