About Us

At the close of our first year of operations, MoonStone MPLS is so proud to announce that we will be relocating to the Longfellow neighborhood in the new year!

You’re moving!?!
Yes! But not far! We will be moving 5 miles east from our current location 908 WEST Lake Street to 3304 EAST Lake Street (former Repair Lair). We have loved our time in uptown, and we’re very excited to join the Longfellow community, where we hope to put down roots that will allow us to grow and thrive.

What are the perks?

• Our new location has a parking lot! Please enjoy well lit, off street parking when you come to visit us in 2025!
• Our new space also has air conditioning, which will make summers in the shop more enjoyable for all of us.
• The storefront has an accessibility ramp, and we will share two single-stall restrooms with our neighbor, Sonora Grill. Check out the history of Sonora in the building we’ll share here.
• Longfellow is home to many other small businesses, many within walking distance, such as Soderberg Floral across the street, which will celebrate 100 years in 2025!
• Shopping destinations include Time Bomb Vintage, Audrey Rose Vintage, Turquoise Vintage and E’s Emporium, among others. Moon Palace Books, one of our heroes, is right up the street for any books that we don’t have for you. Wax World, a trans owned and operated record and comic shop, is further east on Lake.
• Dining establishments in the neighborhood include gluten-free Milkweed and vegan-friendly Francis, the Himalayan, Midori’s Floating World (sushi) Cafe, and many more!

We are optimistic that these changes will make it easier for folks to visit us more comfortably, confidently, and frequently.

When is this happening?

• We will continue daily operations from 12-7 from Thursday, December 26 through Monday, January 6 - come treat yourself to new year’s goodies!
• Our hours will change on January 7 to CLOSED Tues/Weds/Thurs for preparations in the new space. Shopping hours will remain 12-7 Friday-Monday until later in the spring.
• Our final weekend in our current space will be January 17-20, with our very last day on Monday, 1/20. We will have a 20% off sale on Sunday 1/19 and Monday 1/20 to reduce the amount of inventory we need to move.
• Our first weekend of operations in Longfellow will casually be 1/25. We will welcome shoppers new and established for our soft-opening weekend, while we work out the final kinks in preparation for…
• Our Grand Opening in the new space on Saturday, February 1! Celebrate our new space with us! Visitors during this weekend will be invited to enter a drawing for a crystal specimen TBD.

What’s next for MoonStone?
We hope to use the new space to continue our weekend pop up markets that allow makers and small businesses to showcase their goods Fridays-Sundays. We will work towards curating the markets to pair established vendors with newcomers, and to create themes that complement community events (e.g., Pride events, Paganicon, Oddities Expos)

As the days get longer, we hope to take advantage of the light (and the parking lot) by offering events on weeknights, including workshops, classes, groups, and book clubs. We plan to highlight three areas with our events programming:

• Spiritual wellness and self-exploration (e.g., astrology, tarot, and ritual practices)
• Queer community resources (e.g., vocal care workshops, name change clinics, etc.)
• Small business resources (e.g., workshops on tax IDs, business registrations, etc.)

We will work to increase engagement with other local small businesses for collaboration on events and marketing, like block parties and passport programs.

What’s happening with 3rd Eye Psychic Salon?
3rd Eye will stay where you’ve always known it, at 910 West Lake Street, but MoonStone will continue to offer 10% discounts to reading customers within 2 weeks of their reading receipt. We look forward to hosting a variety of readers in our new space in the future, from 3rd Eye and beyond!
