Specializing in menswear, home furnishings, and interior design, MartinPatrick 3 is expanding its space to 22,000 square feet by August in order to host more of its popular events, like runway shows, speakers, and social gatherings.

MARTIN PATRICK 3

"With the rising popularity of online shopping, there is a growing pressure on retailers to create an ‘experience’ for their clientele. Martin Patrick 3, the celebrated men’s lifestyle store in the North Loop, the hip warehouse district of downtown Minneapolis, attracts men and women from all across the country by providing exactly that – an experience. In this case, of sophistication, style and aesthetic. What began as an interior design firm, Martin Patrick 3 has grown its space to include a beautifully curated selection of furniture, apparel, apothecary and design as well as an in-house barber shop and bar."

"The store is massive, which means there’s rooms upon rooms of gift ideas for pretty much everyone you know: your stoner brother, your dad, your cool cousin, your boyfriend… the list goes on and on. They’ve got everything: fancy desk accessories, suits, fashionable-but-not-obnoxious winter hats and gloves, and a ridiculously good apothecary section of skincare, haircare, and fragrance. Oh, and there's also a jewelry store, if you’re feeling particularly flush this season. "

"MP3 is a unique firm whose work spans men’s apparel, fine home furnishings, and interior design. They are well known for the elegant, curated aesthetic displayed in their 17,000-square-foot retail space and showroom. “I had shopped at the Martin Patrick 3 store many times before,” explains Matt. “I was very familiar with their style and knew I liked the art and furniture they sell in store.”

But people don’t always realize that MP3 started as an interior design firm. Today, MP3 Studio is the architecturally-driven, full-service interior design arm of the company."

CAN ANYONE BEAT AMAZON? FAST COMPANY HEADS TO MINNESOTA TO FIND OUT | NANCY KUEHN

"The story isn't just about big retail: North Loop boutique MartinPatrick3 gets plenty of praise, with the story noting how the boutique has grown from a small shop in 2008 to a "17,000-square-foot cathedral of high-fashion menswear" that still manages to continually find room for more expansions. (It's almost out of room, though; the Star Tribune notes that a 4,000-square-foot addition planned for next year will max out the space in its building.)"

FAST COMPANY MAGAZINE LOOKS TO THE FUTURE OF RETAIL. IT'S IN MINNEAPOLIS | JOHN EWOLDT

"[Walsh's] store, which he co-owns with his "partner partner" Dana Swindler, continues to enjoy phenomenal sales year over year. While the number of people visiting stores nationally on Thanksgiving and Black Friday fell 4% this year, according to RetailNext Inc., Walsh said, "We projected and set a sales goal for 30% growth over last year, and we did it for each of the three days of the holiday shopping weekend," he said in an email. That's on track with growth of 30 to 40% for each of the last five years at MP3."

THESE BUSINESSES ARE WHY MINNEAPOLIS’S NORTH LOOP IS AMAZING | BECKI IVERSON

"MartinPatrick3 is a legendary cornerstone of the North Loop, and for good reason. Long (as in decades long) before the Dayton Brothers set up shop in the North Loop, MartinPatrick3 was serving up the classiest, chicest men's store around -- but it wasn’t in the center of it all when it opened.

The front half of the store is replete with drool-worthy home goods arranged in approachable vignettes that invite customers to sit down and handle the items, truly making the purchasing process hands-on. The rest of the store’s high-end wares are stocked in a similar fashion, with elegantly designed displays that help you instantly imagine the objects in your own home."

THE FUTURE OF RETAIL IN THE AGE OF AMAZON | AUSTIN CARR

"During my reporting, I quizzed each person I spoke with about which stores get retail right. People picked one place more than any other: MartinPatrick3.

An extravagant, 17,000-square-foot cathedral of high-fashion menswear in Minneapolis, MartinPatrick3 looks like what would have happened if Willy Wonka had gone to Parsons School of Design. At once boundless and intimate, the store’s colorful rooms naturally transition to the next, each its own pristinely wrapped Christmas present."

BEST OF THE TWIN CITIES: BEST CLOTHING STORE (MEN'S)

"When it opened, Martin Patrick3 was merely an interior design shop. That helps explain how gorgeous and well-designed everything is inside it. Part of the joy of shopping at Martin Patrick3 is just making your way through its labyrinthine layout. But these days, much of that glorious North Loop space is devoted to designer threads, with local and national brands represented. Those can run pretty steep, but they don’t have to. Martin Patrick3 maintains a healthy amount of affordable pieces, and their sale section is loaded with finds. Even cheaper than that: While wandering the racks, look for trays of free snacks set out for shoppers. They also carry an excellent selection of men’s fragrances.
