We invite everyone to come join us for a cool little getaway packed with Forksful of flavor, finds and fun!
The Ski & Bike Shop
3610 South Washington Street, Grand Forks //SkiandBikeShop.net
Ski & Bike has been in their new location since May. The expansive space allows them to offer an even wider selection of bicycles including road/gravel, mountain, electric, hybrid and kids/BMX. They also sell cycling apparel and accessories, cross-country and downhill skis and snowboards. Ski & Bike’s expert staff can do equipment fittings and repairs, as well.
Pretty b
615 1st Avenue North, Grand Forks // Facebook
Previously located in a Southside strip mall, this trendy boutique recently moved to a prime spot in the heart of Downtown. Pretty b continues to offer shoppers an abundance of fabulous women’s fashions and accessories.
El Gordito
3000 32nd Avenue South, Grand Forks // Facebook
If you’re looking for muy delicioso Mexican and Salvadoran dishes, El Gordito is just the restaurante! Patrons who would visit them in the Columbia Mall Food Court, will now just have to cross the street and pull right up to their new space beside House of Punjab and Key Bliss Boutique.
Nautical Bowls
3251 32nd Avenue South, Grand Forks // NauticalBowls.com
This newly opened eatery features a variety of healthy, fresh superfood bowls that are made with all natural ingredients. They are gluten, soy and dairy free. One of my favorites is the Anchor Bowl: açaí, granola, banana, coconut flakes and cashew cacao butter.
Tropical Smoothie Café
4010 South Washington Street, Grand Forks // TropicalSmoothieCafe.com
With a menu that includes flatbreads, wraps, quesadillas and sandwiches, in addition to their vast selection of smoothies, this café has quickly become a hot spot for healthy and delicious “upscale fast food”. My go-to is the Baja Chicken Wrap packed with grilled chicken, rice, black beans, smashed avocado, romaine, pickled red onions, cheddar and roasted tomato salsa. Both the Mango Magic and Pomegranate Plunge Smoothies make a perfect chaser.
Plato’s Closet
2500 South Columbia Road, Grand Forks // Facebook
Still in its same location but with some impressive new renovations, this gently used clothing store offers customers of every age and size affordable fashions and accessories.
North Dakota Coffee Roastery & School
1401 Dyke Avenue, Grand Forks // NDCoffeeRoastery.com
The brainchild of Bully Brew Coffee owner Sandi Luck, this institute of higher java education teaches students how to roast the grandest beans in our state. With 13 years of experience in the coffee world, they offer a comprehensive program focusing on business planning, management and how to lead a successful local coffee house.
