That includes stores in Edina, Brooklyn Center, Hutchinson, Lakeville and Rogers. Best Buy on Thursday announced it would close 50 of its big-box locations in total and lay off 400 corporate and support workers.

The Edina-based ice cream and restaurant chain is parting ways with New York-based Grey Advertising after working together for 15 years, the Advertising Age reports. A Dairy Queen marketing executive tells the trade journal that the company hopes to have a new creative agency in place by early next year.

John Gainor, chief executive officer of International Dairy Queen, told Bloomberg TV the Edina-based chain plans to open several stores in New York, including Staten Island Ferry Station and Manhattan by the end of this year.

Stores in Ridgedale in Minnetonka, Southdale in Edina and Shoppes at Arbor Lakes in Maple Grove are all reportedly slated to close late this month.

Southdale shoppers will have more than a dozen new options at the Edina shopping mall once the $19 million renovation project is complete this fall. The Edina Patch writes the mall recently announced it will soon be home to Journeys, Wet Seal and Maurices, in addition to several new restaurants.

Best Buy Co. Inc. on Saturday announced that stores in Brooklyn Center and Edina -- two of the five Minnesota stores the company had planned to close by this fall -- will shut down June 21. It was not clear when the stores in Lakeville, Rogers and Hutchinson would lock up for good.

The retailer over the weekend released a list of the stores it plans to close. Best Buy also cut hundreds of corporate jobs and trimmed about $800 million in costs.
