Galleria Edina is about to get a jolt of innovation and luxury with Rivian Automotive Inc. proposing a brand-new retail showroom inside the upscale shopping destination. Rivian, known for its high-end electric trucks and SUVs, has applied for a conditional use permit to set up shop next to J.H. & Sons. While not a traditional dealership, this 2,300-square-foot retail location will offer display vehicles, educational experiences, and even test drives—right in the heart of Edina.
This marks Rivian’s first retail location in Minnesota, further expanding their national footprint of 33 locations across North America. With vehicle prices ranging from $70,000 to well over $130,000, Rivian’s presence enhances the luxury appeal of Galleria Edina, especially as the mall continues to respond to competition from Southdale Center's newly launched luxury wing.
For Edina homeowners and luxury real estate buyers in the Twin Cities, this development signals continued investment in high-end retail experiences. As a Twin Cities Realtor, I see firsthand how premium amenities like Rivian’s showroom can impact local home values and desirability.
Stay tuned as Edina’s City Council reviews the application in August 2025. And if you’re curious how this could affect your home search or sale in Edina or the west metro, let’s connect.
