"Hubert White Store Remodeling Bodes Well For Downtown Retail Boom"


Read yesterday's article in the Star Tribune regarding Hubert White and the expected "downtown retail boom" here.

"The dearth of free parking, a shrinking department store business, and slow weekend and evening foot traffic have long challenged fashion retailers in downtown Minneapolis. The January closing of luxury merchant Neiman Marcus only seemed to confirm the conundrum.
But upscale men?s clothier Hubert White appears to have defied conventional wisdom, outlasting Sims, Mark Shale, Juster?s and others. The retailer recently completed an upgrade of its store in the IDS Center that cost in excess of $200,000 to meet an expected surge of well-heeled shoppers, given all the new residential construction downtown."

 "Bob White stood in the Ermenegildo Zegna area of the recently renovated Hubert White men?s store in the IDS Center. He has noticed brisker business as more people are moving into the upscale apartments being built downtown."
 "Matt White worked in the recently renovated area at the Hubert White men?s store in the IDS Center. He is the great-grandson of Hubert White, who founded the business nearly a century ago."
 "Shirts, left, and colorful ties in different pattern styles are displayed in the Eton Shop area at the Hubert White men?s boutique in the IDS Center"
