Get ready to be inspired as two new-to-Minnesota national retailers hit “The District” in Edina this fall—The Container Store in early September, followed by West Elm in early October. Stocked to the rafters with more than 10,000 organizational products for closets, kitchens, offices, and more, The Container Store provides plenty of practical home storage solutions within its 22,000-square-foot space. West Elm, the hip, younger sister of Williams-Sonoma and Pottery Barn, anchors the other side of this Centennial Lakes hot spot, which replaced the old movie theater formerly located there, featuring chic, mod-ish furnishings with a global or “organic” twist. Best of all, while you’re there, get a jump start on the holidays, as the 12,000-square-foot store will makes its debut with its 2008 holiday collection. 7311 France Ave. S., Edina.
