Mixed-use building makes use of key intersection

Submitted Photo A rendering by Craftwell Architecture & Construction shows the design of the mixed-use building being constructed on Fourth Avenue Northwest in Minot.

A new building going up along Fourth Avenue Northwest on the west side of Broadway will be providing additional dining and retail options in Minot by summer.

Jersey Mike’s Subs and Noodles & Company are slated to locate in the building, along with a still to be announced retail establishment.

The building is known as the McHenry Project because his parents are natives of nearby McHenry County, said Chad Thompson, who has been part of the family development project. His parents, Myron and Shirley Thompson, hold the franchise on Noodles & Company and he holds the franchise for Jersey Mike’s Subs, both of which are targeted for a mid-June opening.

Noodles & Company will be located on the west end of the building, with a drive-through, while Jersey Mike’s will be on the east side and will have an online order pickup window.

Thompson said the Fourth Avenue and Broadway location is ideal for the businesses. Construction started last fall, and although COVID-19 tended to drive construction material costs up in 2020, the project was an investment that the Thompsons didn’t want to wait on.

“It’s been an under-utilized corner for a long time,” Thompson said. “We feel like it’s a great corner of Minot. Visibility-wise, driving northbound, it might be the best location in Minot.”

Currently, his family owns seven Noodles & Company restaurants, located in Montana and Nebraska. North Dakota has four of the restaurants owned by other franchise holders – two in Fargo and one in each Bismarck and Grand Forks. Jersey Mike’s has locations in Grand Forks, West Fargo and Fargo, although it is Chad Thompson’s first franchise for the restaurant.
