Starting out in the grocery store business in the early 1920s, Russell T. Lund had an entrepreneurial spirit and quickly became a full partner in Hoves’ grocery store in Minneapolis, Minnesota. His own grocery store followed not long after, in the early 1940s, which was one of the first self-service grocery stores in the area at the time. Renamed ‘Lunds’ in 1964, the grocery store turned into a chain and even today the family company continues to grow under the direction of Russell T. Lund III. By 1997, Lunds acquired a local competitor, Byerly’s, and the two brand names were eventually merged into ‘Lunds & Byerlys’ in 2015.
