Pearson’s Candy Company, a beloved St. Paul institution since 1909, is shutting down this fall, leaving nearly 80 workers jobless—no bumping rights in sight. The closure stems from financial unsustainability, but tensions run deeper: the union filed a June complaint alleging bad-faith bargaining, and with no clear retraining or support on the horizon, the future of the iconic Salted Nut Roll and Nut Goodie—and the community’s candy legacy—hangs in the balance.

The Minnesota Vikings’ QB race is heating up as Kyler Murray and J.J. McCarthy battle it out for the starting job—both staying focused, grinding hard, and refusing to let ego get in the way.

Legacy Investing, the firm behind turning the Sleep Number building into a data center, is eyeing the massive 13-acre former Star Tribune printing plant in North Loop for its next big tech play — a mixed-use development featuring housing, retail, and a new 20-megawatt data center. While the project promises to fuel Minneapolis’ urban transformation, it’s hitting a regulatory snag: the city recently paused new data centers under 350,000 sq ft — and this site easily exceeds that limit.
