In Lanesboro, residents asked to buy shares to create a coop to replace the grocery story that shut downShare

Lanesboro is a summer tourist destination for cyclists, anglers, and paddlers. But for the 800-hundred-or-so year round residents who call the town southeast of Rochester home, one community institution is missing -- a supermarket. Two years ago, the village grocery store closed down and the building still sits vacant. For residents, that's meant traveling at least 10 miles to a nearby town to buy food. Now, some are taking matters into their own hands and trying to bring groceries back to Lanesboro.
