Comcast RISE Series: Meet Dana Smith of MinnyRow Market

Welcome to Comcast RISE Highlights where Comcast RISE recipients in the Twin Cities Region are highlighted.

We’re proud to introduce Dana Smith, co-owner of MinnyRow Market on Mainstreet in Hopkins, MN. MinnyRow Market specializes in locally sourced and ethically produced foods.

“We are dreamers and when his job changed drastically, we started to think what was important to our family,” said Dana. “Food and community was the answer. We created MinnyRow Market to fill a void for Minnesotans to shop local and combined our two unique backgrounds of customer service and food.”

This dream project launched in 2020 and has been rewarding for Dana to see the community value the mission of MinnyRow Market which is to support local. 

Currently, MinnyRow Market carries 15+ vendors ranging from deli meat to lip balm. To support MinnyRow Market, check out their website here.
