New Oakdale Caribou Coffee Nears Opening
The coffee company is finishing off construction on a new shop at Century Avenue and Highway 36.
Crews are completing the interior of a new Oakdale Caribou Coffee, and it’s expected to open in early October, according to a company spokeswoman.
The Minneapolis-based company is building a new coffee shop at the northeast intersection of Highway 36 and Century Avenue. The exterior is essentially complete.
Once it opens, it will be the third Caribou Coffee in Oakdale, following the one at the Oakdale Village Shopping Center and the Bergen Plaza location, which opened in October 2012.
