Lunch on the Avenue

A Simple Way to Support Central Corridor Businesses

Everyone is encouraged to support local businesses during Central Corridor Light Rail construction, from the Minneapolis’ West Bank, down University Avenue, into St. Paul’s Lowertown.  A program the Midway Chamber of Commerce has put together to help in this effort is “Lunch on the Avenue.”  This program encourages the public to wine or dine at a specific, locally-owned University Avenue restaurant every other week.

Organizer Jamison Randall, a Midway Chamber Volunteer Ambassador, is working to arrange this successful program.  Central Corridor restaurants have now served hundreds of Lunch Avenue guests.  To date, guests have attended more than 30 “Lunch on the Avenue” events.  Attendance has grown from a few folks to an average of 25 to 35 patrons per event, for a total of over 800 participants.
