Is Apple planning to take a bigger bite out of Rosedale Center and relocate its existing store at the Roseville mall into larger quarters? That's the story being reported by the St.Paul Pioneer Press. "Apple hasn't confirmed a Rosedale-store move and expansion, but a source says the bigger store will occupy a space across from the existing outlet," writes Pioneer Press reporter Julio Ojeda-Zapata.

With giant discounter Wal-Mart expected to break ground this month on its proposed 160,000 square-foot store in Roseville's Twin Lakes neighborhood, that project is likely to break a development logjam in the area, according a local real estate executive.

Relocation from HarMar Mall 5 years ago has given the independent bookseller greater visibility.
From her independent bookstore in Roseville, owner Melissa Olson likes to welcome visitors with a free cup of chai tea. "We want to make people feel comfortable when they come in," Olson said. In a world of intense competition from other booksellers and the online world, Olson said that's one way she can separate her store, The Booksop, from others in the market. That it's been a tough decade for independent booksellers is borne out in the numbers: About 10 years ago, the Twin Cities had about 200 independent seller; today there about half that number, Olson said Founded in 1981, The Bookshop operated for 26 years from HarMar Mall before relocating to 1940 Lexington Av. N. about five-and-a-half years ago. That move has given her store …
