2 St. Cloud-area grocery stores named among the best

USA TODAY has released its list of the 10 best grocery stores in the U.S. for 2026. Two of the supermarkets included in the top 10 have locations you can visit right here in the St. Cloud area. USA TODAY 10Best ranked U.S. grocery stores for their value, selection and service. The 10 best grocery stores were nominated by an expert panel and voted on by readers. The ranking was released in early September. Two chains with central Minnesota locations made the list: Fresh Thyme Market and Aldi. Here's where they landed. Aldi Aldi came in at No. 4 on the 10best list. Low prices are also a big selling point for Aldi shoppers. One way Aldi is able to provide these lower prices is by offsetting other costs. Shoppers have to bring their own bags or purchase them from Aldi, and the shopping carts need a quarter to be unlocked, which can be reclaimed once the shopper returns the cart. This reduces the need for extra employees to bring in carts from the parking lot. USA TODAY also highlighted the store's lenient return policy, called the "Twice as Nice Guarantee," in which Aldi replaces the product and refunds the

Supplier seeks $116,000, foreclosure on historical society property

A building-materials supplier is seeking more than $116,000 from Welter Construction LLC and Roger Welter in a lawsuit that also asks for foreclosure on property owned by the Morrison County Historical Society. The case is assigned to Judge Meriel B. Lester. A scheduling conference was set for 11 a.m. Nov. 12, according to the court’s register of actions. SRS Distribution Inc. filed the lawsuit May 20 in Morrison County District Court, alleging it was not paid for materials supplied to Welter Construction for improvements to the historical society’s property. According to the complaint, SRS furnished the materials between Sept. 17 and Oct. 15, 2025. The company alleges the materials had an agreed price and reasonable value of $116,006.22 and that none of the balance had been paid. The complaint identifies Welter Construction as the company that contracted for the materials and the historical society as the property owner. It alleges the materials were used in improvements to the property with the knowledge and consent of the parties. SRS says it recorded a mechanic’s lien against the property Feb. 6. The company is asking the court to recognize and enforce that lien and order the property sold, with proceeds applied toward

St. Cloud Weighs Letting Apartments Rise Downtown and Along Highway 10

Roosevelt Rd. & Hwy. 10 — Approximate Proposed Apartment Corridor. St. Cloud is moving to make it easier to build apartments downtown and along the city's busiest commercial roads, with a zoning change that would let stand-alone apartment buildings rise in three commercial districts where today housing is confined to upper floors above shops and offices. The proposal goes before the city's Planning Commission Tuesday, and if it clears that hurdle, it still faces a City Council public hearing and vote before anything changes.

From Sierra Leone to Broadway, Kemokai finds a place of his own

LITTLE FALLS — Yusef Kemokai once pictured himself playing professional soccer. Later, he hoped to make a living flying airplanes. Neither worked out quite as planned. But those ambitions brought him from Sierra Leone to London, then to North Dakota. Barbering brought him to Little Falls, where he now has a business of his own. Kemokai celebrated the grand opening of The Barbershop on Broadway, at 122 E. Broadway Ave., Tuesday, Nov. 10, with a Chamber of Commerce welcome and ribbon-cutting. His plans for the shop are straightforward. Give people a good haircut. Make them comfortable. Give them a reason to stay and visit. “It’s a place for people to meet,” he said. The shop welcomes men, women and children. “I just want to have a standard barber shop,” he said. For Kemokai, opening that shop follows years of finding his way into a career he hadn’t originally considered. Growing up in Sierra Leone, soccer was his ambition. He spent more than three years at a soccer academy in London, hoping to turn the sport into a profession. When that didn’t happen, he pursued aviation at the University of North Dakota. The cost of attending as an international student eventually

Property taxes increase 3% in proposed Sauk Rapids 2027 budget

SAUK RAPIDS, Minn. — While the overall levy for the property tax in Sauk Rapids is planned to increase in 2027, the actual rate is planned to decrease slightly — which doesn’t mean taxpayers will pay less in the new year. The tax capacity for the city went up nearly 4% in the past year, Finance Director Jack Kahlhamer said during the Nov. 9 city council meeting, and the levy is planned to go up 3%. “But,” he said, “again, the tax capacity increase is really almost all existing homes.” The tax capacity can be impacted by new construction but also increases in existing property values, which could lead to higher costs for homeowners. According to the proposed budget, this is compared to 2026’s increased level of nearly 9% from the previous year with about the same increase to tax capacity. More: 3M agrees to pay billions over toxic chemical claims Utility fee increases in Sauk Rapids The other potential increase for homeowners are the public utilities and services fees. Utility fees overall will increase about 5% to 6% into the new year, according to the proposed budget. Most of the increase come from storm water fees, which will see

St. Paul's 900-Ton Mansion Crawled Five Blocks to Dodge the Wrecking Ball

A 900-ton Victorian duplex once crept through downtown St. Paul at a crawling 20 feet per hour, lifted with hydraulic jacks and conveyed on wheeled dollies past onlookers, to escape a date with the wrecking ball. Twenty-five years later, the Armstrong-Quinlan House still stands in the Irvine Park neighborhood — though its path there, and the years of struggle that followed, make for one of the stranger chapters in the city's preservation history.
