Caribou Coffee at the corner of Grand Avenue and Oxford Street in St. Paul recently closed its doors after decades in business.
“Thank you to our wonderful community for loving our store and the teams who ran it for the past 30 years,” an announcement on the door reads. “We will miss you all!”
The closure at 1055 Grand Avenue comes on the heels of another Caribou Coffee closure in the neighborhood. The Lincoln Commons strip mall location, near the intersection Grand and Snelling avenues, shuttered in November .
Caribou Coffee’s recent closure is the latest blow to Grand Avenue, where the departure of longtime businesses is coming at a faster clip.
Pottery Barn and Salut Bar Americain both closed permanently in recent weeks. Another prominent fixture of the historic avenue, Tavern of Grand, announced plans to close in June after 35 years in business.
Caribou Coffee, however, can still be found on Grand Avenue and elsewhere in the neighborhood.
Locations remain open at 757 Grand Avenue, at the intersection of Randolph and Fairview avenues and at 2340 West 7th Street.
