Our story
Twenty-plus years on South Nicollet.
B-Squad opened at the start of 2004 and has been a fixture of the neighborhood ever since.
Betsy O'Connor's shop is the kind of place that's getting harder to find: independent, a little bit wild, and run by someone who knows every rack.
Walk through the door and you'll find clothing from across the decades alongside vinyl, kitschy home goods and throwback electronics. Every wall is a different color, the ceiling is pressed tin, and something good is usually playing.
The brick corner building at 35th and Nicollet is easy to spot, thanks to its big VINTAGE windows and a mural of old Nicollet Park, the ballpark that once stood just up the avenue.
