Fargo, ND (KFGO) In a time where products are sitting on ships, factories are idled and electronic chips are holding up the production of new vehicles, a store in Fargo, North Dakota is taking a different approach. Minn-Dak Market in the West Acres Mall has become a hub for local North Dakota, Minnesota, and South Dakota products.
No ports, production delays or major company logistics concerns; Minn-Dak Market co-owner Greg Kempel just hops in his vehicle and heads to his vendors in and around North Dakota, Minnesota, and South Dakota and picks up the product.
Chip delays? Not for Minn-Dak Market. They have an abundance of the famous chocolate covered “chippers” right out of West Fargo, North Dakota, or hot cocoa straight out of Duluth, Minnesota.
In Greg’s world shipping concerns are only a problem if you don’t order in time for Christmas. For the past three years this unique concept called “Minn-Dak Market” has revolutionized how consumers get access to these delicious products made within the tri-state area. It’s not just local, it’s LOCALISM and it’s catching on in a major way!
Earlier this week KFGO radio and YouTube personality Joel Heitkamp took a tour through Minn-Dak Market to see for himself. Throughout the tour it became apparent that this isn’t just any store. This is life for the Kempels. This is a family-run business that Greg and his wife Susan have run since it’s inception in 2019 and with the help of their daughters and Greg’s mom this is a group that will be here for the long haul.
From Velva to Valley City, from Bismarck to Bowman local products thrive at Minn-Dak Market. In a world where your favorite products are hard to find, this 21st century marketplace is introducing you to the products being made in your backyard, you just haven’t tasted them yet.
Minn-Dak Market is located in the JC Penny wing of West Acres if you’re shopping in Fargo, but don’t worry they ship nationwide if you are looking for a taste of home. Localize yourself at
