Love the way you shop with Chameleon!

Chameleon’s mission is to connect, incubate, and accelerate BIPOC and women entrepreneurs as part of a movement to create a vibrant and inclusive Downtown Minneapolis.

 

 

Chameleon connects local small businesses with retail space in the heart of downtown Minneapolis through events, short-term pop-ups, and long-term shops. Downtown shoppers can currently find seven shops up and down Nicollet.

 

 

With a bold, bright and brilliant collection of vendors, you’ll be sure to find that perfect gift for someone special or a perfectly wonderful treat for yourself. You’ll also be doing good in the world by supporting local women- and BIPOC-owned businesses.
