Local HGTV stars open retail shop
Local HGTV stars Brad and Heather Fox are getting into the retail business. The Fox?s have a real estate business, Fox Homes, and an interior design company. They landed their own show on HGTV called ?Stay or Sell? where they renovated homes, and now they?re unveiling Foxwell Shoppe. The store officially opened this week at 44th and France Avenue in Edina. Since the Fox?s offer interior design, a shop with home goods was a logical next step. And now they?ve relocated all their businesses into this location. And there?s another thing that?s working out for them; HGTV. They have another project with the network in the works though they couldn?t share the details quite yet.

Bike shops see surge in sales during pandemic
When states started shutting down, people went looking for new ways to get out and exercise while social distancing. In Minnesota, bike shops remained open since they provide an essential service: transportation. Orders spiked to a level most shops weren?t prepared for. Handsome Cycles is the only independent bike company in Minnesota building their bikes right here in Minneapolis. Co-founder Jesse Erickson said typically if you ordered a bike they could build it and have it to you in a week, but right now it?s closer to three weeks. He says they?re selling twice as many bikes as a normal spring, and the surge happened a month earlier due to a mild March paired with the stay-at-home orders.
