Prime retail space in The Shoppes At National Market Center at Hwy 65 & 105th Ave NE, a heavily-traveled retail corridor serving Blaine & surrounding northern Twin Cities communities.
Benefits from high visibility, convenient access, established retail traffic, nearby residential neighborhoods & an exceptional concentration of sports/recreational activity.
Even more importantly, the immediate 105th Ave area is undergoing a significant transformation that will substantially increase the area's long-term appeal.
One of this location’s greatest advantages is its proximity to the National Sports Center, an enormous yr-round generator of athletes/teams/families/visitors. Recognized as the world's largest amateur sports facility that attracts more than 4M visits annually, making it MN's most-visited sports facility. Its sprawling 600+acre campus incl an extraordinary collection of facilities/events that attracts athletes/spectators from throughout MN/US/internationally. For a family-oriented dessert concept such as Cold Stone, this is an exceptional complementary demand generator.
Perhaps the most exciting aspect of this location is what is happening immediately around it. Construction is now underway on The Farm, a massive 70-acre sports/entertainment district adjacent to the National Sports Center. Designed to become a major regional destination, The Farm is planned to combine sports/entertainment/retail/restaurants/hospitality/residential development. Expected to begin opening in phases in 2027-28. This creates an unusually compelling future growth story for an already-established Cold Stone within the immediate Hwy 65/105th Ave trade area.
Blaine itself provides another important advantage. Blaine is one of the fastest-growing suburbs in the Twin Cities metro area. The city reported an estimated population of 77,871 residents & 27,012 households in 2025. This Cold Stone directly benefits from its continued residential, commercial & employment growth.
The combination of expanding population, Hwy 65 visibility, established retail, the National Sports Center & the development of The Farm makes the 105th Ave area one of Blaine's most noteworthy commercial locations!
