Inscription.
In 1922, Russel T. Lund, Sr. started working for Hove's, a neighborhood grocery store at 2923-25 Hennepin Avenue. That fall, he became a partial partner in the cheese and cracker department. In 1939, Lund became a full partner and helped build a new store on Lake Street. The store was one of the first self-service grocery stores in Minneapolis, and one of the first to offer off-street parking for customers. Lund gained full ownership in 1964 and changed the name to Lunds. In the 1970s, Lunds had gained a reputation as more than a great place to buy groceries. "Although most people go to Lunds for groceries, some had found it's an equally good place to socialize," reported the Minneapolis Star in 1978. One happy shopper remarked "you can buy meat and meet girls all at the same time!",

primeros supermercados en Minneapolis, y uno de los primeros de ofrecer aparcamiento a sus clientes. Lund asumió como propietario en 1964 y cambió el nombre a Lunds. En los años 70, Lunds era reconocido por ser más que un lugar fabuloso para comprar comestibles. "Aunque la mayoría va a Lunds por provisiones, para algunos es un local igualmente bueno para socializar", reportó el Minneapolis Star en 1978. Un cliente feliz dijo "¡se puede comprar carne y conocer chicas al mismo tiempo!"
