4611 EXCELSIOR BLVD.

Originally on the grounds of the Minnesota Tree Service, a two-story office building that was built was built in 1958 (Card-Del Construction Co.). In 1964-65, a Fisk Brokerage was listed at that address (previously they had been located at 4526 Excelsior). That building was demolished in November 1969.


In 1970, PDQ built a food store at the site. Earl Dolbec was the meat manager. There is a picture of the store in the November 19, 1970 issue of the Dispatch.


It was the site of the Dilly Lilly store from 1995 to 2005. The picture below is from 1999.
