Opening Sept 17: Sundance at Galleria Edina: Founded by Robert Redford in 1989, this fashion and home décor brand finds its influences in the American West and is known for using environmentally friendly materials such as reclaimed wood in its stores. This will only be the brand’s 4th brick-and-mortar location, with a 5th opening later this year in Dallas, Texas. Some of the proceeds from the opening weekend will go toward supporting Urban Arts Academy in Minneapolis, so that’s even more incentive to go early. (3510 Galleria, Edina, galleriaedina.com)
