LET METRO MOBILITY PICK UP YOUR GROCERY ORDER

By

Certified Metro Mobility customers can now order groceries and household essentials online from a store that has online shopping and local pick up. Metro Mobility will pick your order up and deliver to your house.

And the service is free — no fares for delivery. Delivery begins on Sunday, March 22.

You can book same day or in advance, for groceries and household essentials, just like you book a ride for yourself. You’ll receive your delivery within 60 minutes of the scheduled pickup time.

Stock your pantry with products, get fresh produce and other household essentials without leaving your house.

Just tell the store that Metro Mobility is picking up and provide us your order number as proof of purchase for pick up. Our four-bag limit remains in effect. Pickups must be scheduled at a commercial location. Drivers will verify your photo ID at drop-off.

If you have questions about whether you may or may not qualify for Metro Mobility, please contact our Customer Service staff: phone 651-602-1111*,  TTY 651-221-9886, email: metromobility@metc.state.mn.us

By

For years, many Minneapolis residents have wondered whether Minneapolis would ever manage to take back the spot occupied by the Kmart store on Lake Street, and thus reconnect Nicollet Avenue.

Now, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey has confirmed to WCCO that the City of Minneapolis has reached a deal to buy Kmart out of its lease there.
