LNKP Grocery set to resume construction

DULUTH, Minn. — Ecolibrium3 is set to continue construction on the LNPK Grocery store after receiving the necessary permits.

The store, originally set to open this past summer, encountered various snags in the construction process, delaying the opening.

Now that Eco3 has the building permits, they can start renovation and reconstruction of the building.

Moving forward, Eco3 staff said the construction process could take four to six weeks, followed by clean-up, and getting the store ready to open in early 2026.

“I think the one thing that we’ve remained is persistent and wanting to bring this to the community,” said Adam Kurowski, community projects director for Eco3. “So it’s tested our resolve, but we’re really excited to see this next phase start to unravel and then doors open so that we can bring this grocery store to Lincoln Park, community.”

Eco3 encourages people to donate during the Give to the Max campaign to help them continue their mission of increasing food access to the community.
