Retail Nostalgia:
Thank You for Shopping

Saturday May 7th, 2023
11:30am – 1:30pm
Edina Senior Center

Take a nostalgic trip back to the days when department stores ruled the retail landscape of the Twin Cities. More than just shopping centers, stores like Dayton’s, Powers, Donaldson’s, and Young-Quinlan, were centers of social life.

Author Kristal Leebrick will present tales and photos from her book Thank You for Shopping (Minnesota Historical Society Press) and take you on a lively trip back to the glory days of shopping. Coffee, tea, and light hors d’oeuvres are provided and limited copies of Thank You For Shopping will be available for purchase. If you would like to reserve a copy in advance, please email the Edina Historical Society.
