The Copperfield, the neighborhood diner opened by Hightop Hospitality in Mendota Heights, is expanding into Rosemount. The move marks the brand’s first foray beyond its original Twin Cities outpost and will bring a full-service, all-day restaurant concept into the suburb’s retail mix. For now, details about the exact Rosemount address and a firm opening date are still under wraps.
According to the Minneapolis / St. Paul Business Journal, Hightop Hospitality is planning a second Copperfield location in Rosemount. The Business Journal’s March 20 item notes that the expansion is coming from the St. Paul-based operator and that the company has not yet shared a target opening month or an exact street address.
What The Copperfield Offers
The Copperfield’s website describes the restaurant as a “come-as-you-are neighborhood spot” with an all-day menu, a grab-and-go market, and a coffee-and-cocktail bar, a formula that has helped drive strong breakfast and brunch traffic at the Mendota Heights location. Online menus and customer reviews call out signature breakfast dishes alongside burgers, sandwiches, and comfort-food suppers that anchor the concept.

Operator Has Regional Experience
Hightop Hospitality lists The Copperfield with regional concepts such as Green Mill and Crooked Pint on its brand page, signaling the group’s experience operating full-service restaurants and bars. The company first opened The Copperfield in Mendota Heights in 2021, a launch that was covered at the time by the Minneapolis / St. Paul Business Journal. That operational track record gives Hightop a tested playbook for rolling the concept into another suburban market.
Why Rosemount?
Rosemount has seen active real-estate and investment moves recently, including a $24 million sale of a Rosemount senior living campus reported earlier in March, a transaction that underscores continued investor interest in the city. Deals like that can follow or spur new commercial tenants as daytime population and services shift, which helps explain why a neighborhood-focused concept might test the market there. Observers will be watching to see whether Hightop chooses a downtown parcel or a shopping-center spot for the new Copperfield…
