Minnesota Makers opened in 2015 as a small boutique in South Minneapolis by Christa and Jay Kalk, then moved to Robbinsdale a little over a year later because of how successful they were. Then, in 2018, in partnership with Meet Minneapolis Visitor Information Center, a second store was opened in Downtown Minneapolis. They display products from over 100 local artists including jewelry, clothing, and puzzles. They also have an online store.
