Minnesota's Greatest Generation

Powers store at Knollwood Shopping Center, St. Louis Park, 1955

When Knollwood Plaza opened in 1955 it was anchored by Powers Dry Goods Company, a popular department store expanding from it's downtown Minneapolis roots. Powers was bought out in 1985 by the Donaldson Company (a then-prominent Minneapolis department store company), and the Powers store at Knollwood became a Donaldson's store.

Today, the former Powers store location is tenanted by a Kohl's department store.
