Italian Eatery and Un Dito owners Eric and Vanessa Carrara, who closed their south Minneapolis sister restaurants earlier this summer, have officially listed the property on the market. Carrara says that the pair was initially looking for a new tenant to move into the space, but when they announced the restaurants’ closures, they were met with a flood of offers to buy. “We want to find an operator that’s right for the neighborhood that we can pass the baton to,” he says. “That’s what’s most important to us, rather than selling to a developer or apartment complex or something like that.”

Stew Leonard’s, the cluster of grocery stores in the tri-state area, has separated itself for years for its family-run feel, homemade prepared items, and petting zoos. But no element is as campy as its animatronics. Some are at select locations, like the Holstein Family Singers (cows with a jingle written by Stew Leonard Jr. himself); while others are at all stores, like the Chiquita Banana. No two stores are alike when it comes to the mascots. Recently, Diva Cheese — a provolone who wears a fluffy boa like a Vegas showgirl — has received such an outsized response that the company decided to invite her on tour, at Stew Leonard’s in New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut, like the musical star she born to be.
